Investigation into deaths of nurse and unborn son in Irpinia

Overview

The investigation into the deaths of 32-year-old nurse Giovanna Lo Chiatto and her unborn son, Francesco, continues in Avellino. Lo Chiatto, originally from Forino, died suddenly in her Mercogliano home during her ninth month of pregnancy after experiencing abdominal pain and loss of consciousness. Despite emergency medical intervention, both mother and child passed away.

Coordinated by Deputy Prosecutor Italo De Felice and handled by the Carabinieri of Avellino, the inquiry is examining whether medical negligence occurred or if pre-existing pathologies were mismanaged. Four medical professionals from the Moscati Hospital in Avellino have been placed on the register of suspects to allow their participation in the inquiry, though authorities noted this does not imply legal responsibility.

Following the tragedy, funeral services were held in Forino as the community mourned. A specialist panel was ordered to perform an autopsy to establish the exact clinical causes of the sudden illness and the progression of the pregnancy.
