Anna Boffa, 36, originally from Postiglione, died at the San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona hospital in Salerno after being hospitalized for several days, according to Il Mattino.
She taught at the Marco Tullio Cicerone Institute in Sala Consilina, where she had worked for about two years, according to OndaNews.
Her body was placed under the authority of prosecutors while the circumstances of the death are investigated. Prosecutors ordered medical-legal investigations to establish the cause of death.
According to Il Mattino, investigators are examining whether a drug used during treatment received before hospitalization was connected to her death. The reports describe only a possible connection under investigation and do not establish that the drug caused the death.
The specific drug, dosage and treatment involved have not been publicly identified, and the outcome of the examinations has not been reported. Colleagues, students, relatives and the communities of Postiglione and Sala Consilina expressed their condolences, according to OndaNews.
