Origa, the cartoonist who died at sea in Quartu: no sign of violence on the body. The condolences of colleagues

No sign of violence on the body of Graziano Origa , the 71-year-old cartoonist recovered lifeless in the night between Saturday and Sunday in the Margine Rosso sea , in Quartu.

This is what emerges from the external examination carried out today on the body, performed by the team of coroner Roberto Demontis, on behalf of the prosecutor of the Cagliari court, Rita Cariello.

On the body, unlike what was learned yesterday, no autopsy will therefore be carried out. The doctors did not reveal any traces of violence or particular injuries, but took fluids and blood samples to perform the subsequent histological and toxicological tests.

Only when the results of the analyzes arrive will it be possible to understand if the cartoonist ended up in the sea after an illness or if he had ingested drugs or alcohol.

The body was returned to the family members. The funeral is yet to be scheduled.

On social media, following the tragic news, many messages of condolences appeared, including from colleagues.

«Friend, brother, master. You lived like a star, you died like a star,” writes Igor Tuveri, aka Igort , on his Facebook page. Adding: «I am heartbroken. Goodbye Graziano, my friend, you were a visionary, a poet».

Emotion also for Bepi Vigna, one of the creators of Nathan Never: «Goodbye to a friend and a colleague. Farewell to Graziano Origa. We have done many things together and now I am in great pain. Difficult to find the right words to remember it.
