24‑year‑old Alex Favaro identified after death in Mirano canal

The body of 24‑year‑old Alex Favaro, a native of Noale in the Veneto region, was recovered from the Muson Vecchio canal near Via Bastia Fuori in Mirano on Saturday morning. Police confirmed his identity after his parents recognized distinctive marks on the corpse. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death. Investigators have ruled out homicide and are considering that Favaro may have slipped into the water after a sudden medical episode, leading to drowning, though all possibilities remain open.

The incident follows a prior report of a loud splash and a cry for help heard by a nearby resident, who promptly alerted authorities, resulting in the discovery of the body.
