Italian police have reopened the investigation into the death of Italian porn starlet Moana Pozzi, who passed away in 1994 from cancer. According to a recent report, authorities said they now think Pozzi's husband may have assisted her death so she would not suffer.
The Italian news agency ANSA has reported that the new investigation comes after Antonio Di Ciesco, Pozzi's husband at the time of her death, told the Italian daily newspaper, Il Messaggero, he had injected air into his wife's intravenous medicine drip after she asked for help to end her suffering.
"It was a decision we took with serenity," Di Cieso told Il Messaggero. "[It was] the right choice, because there was no other way out, but one which cost me a lot."
According to the ANSA report, Rome prosecutors now say they want to question Di Ciesco, Schicchi and Pozzi's mother, and have obtained medical records from the French clinic where Pozzi died.
If Di Ciesco's claim proves true, he could be charged with "killing a consenting adult," police told ANSA.
