A 45-year-old man was found dead inside his apartment on via Astuti in Nocera Inferiore, in a case local investigators are treating with caution while the cause of death remains undetermined.
According to Il Mattino's Salerno edition, the body was discovered on the Friday before the report's publication, after emergency services alerted the Nocera Inferiore police station. Officers intervened at the apartment, where the man was found without signs of life.
The deceased is described as a non-EU citizen who had lived in Nocera Inferiore for some time. The report states that he was believed to have no criminal record. His precise identity and nationality were not disclosed.
An initial external examination reportedly found no obvious signs indicating a violent death or the involvement of other people. Investigators are now reconstructing the man's final hours to clarify the circumstances.
The body has been placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities. Prosecutors are considering whether to authorize an autopsy to establish the cause and time of death. The report notes that obtaining consent from relatives, who are said to be outside Italy, could slow that process.
No forensic conclusion has been released, and no finding has yet established whether anyone else was present before or around the time of death. The investigation remains ongoing.
