# David Rossi death parliamentary inquiry > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/david-rossi-death-parliamentary-inquiry > Updated: 2026-09-28T10:08:47.000Z. Sources: 39. Developments: 4. A parliamentary commission is investigating the death of former MPS Head of Communications David Rossi, who fell from a window at Palazzo Salimbeni on March 6, 2013. Recent developments include a closed-door hearing with justice collaborator Giuseppe Giglio, a figure linked to the ‘Aemilia’ anti-mafia investigation. Investigators are examining the ‘Viadana track’ in Mantua, specifically a bank account number found in Rossi’s mobile phone. Commission President Gianluca Vinci indicated the hearing was successful, though specific details remain confidential. To further the inquiry, technical forensic operations were conducted on September 28 at a gym in Foro Italico. Experts, including doctors Robbi Manghi and Marco Nigrisoli, alongside Lieutenant Colonel Adolfo Gregori of the RIS and Rome fire department personnel, used a mannequin and an athlete with a similar physique to Rossi to reconstruct the fall. Preliminary findings from these simulations suggest that Rossi was likely attacked by at least two or three large individuals. Medical experts noted that Rossi was conscious during the encounter and likely attempted to defend himself. These results support the commission’s interim report from March, which officially ruled out suicide. The findings point toward a violent assault, reinforcing the theory that Rossi was thrown from the window during a physical altercation. Commission President Gianluca Vinci stated that the investigation is moving toward a solution. Experts suggest the initial intent may have been intimidation, during which Rossi was potentially held outside the window before losing his grip on the ledge and falling. An additional expert report regarding surveillance footage of an individual entering the vicinity is expected on October 12, which may assist in identifying suspects and establishing a motive. ## Claims - The death was a homicide rather than a suicide.
