The funeral of Alessio Vargiu , the four-month-old baby who died on Monday evening in a tragic accident , will be held tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock in the parish church in Settimo San Pietro .

During the ceremony, Mayor Gigi Puddu declared a day of mourning.

The local community is deeply saddened by what happened. "We are close to the little boy's parents and their families," many residents commented. "This is everyone's grief."

Yesterday, the autopsy confirmed the baby's death from respiratory failure : the newborn apparently rolled and fell between the bed and the bedside table in his parents' bedroom, becoming trapped between the two pieces of furniture.

The Cagliari Public Prosecutor's Office has opened a case of manslaughter , with the newborn's mother being investigated as a matter of course.
