Elderly resident deaths in Milan
Overview
Authorities in Milan are investigating multiple incidents involving the deaths of elderly residents.
On October 4, 2026, a 75-year-old woman died in a fire at her apartment on via Demonte. Investigators noted the presence of three medical oxygen tanks in the residence, one of which was affected by the blaze.
In a separate investigation, police reported the death of 87-year-old Carlo Jacob in the Cimiano district. His daughter, Giovanna Jacob, was arrested for aggravated homicide after admitting she had restrained and gagged her father to prevent him from disturbing neighbors due to his dementia.
Additionally, 83-year-old Rosalba Persico died in a fire at a public housing complex in the Vigentino neighborhood. The Milan Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the incident with suspicions of arson, focusing on a 52-year-old male resident who is considered a person of interest.
