In Portici, in the Naples area, the bodies of an 82-year-old woman and her 44-year-old nephew were discovered in a home. According to available information, the deaths occurred at least five days ago.

No signs of violence were found on the bodies, and there were no traces of forced entry in the apartment, which had closed windows and no air conditioning system. The most plausible theory is that of a health issue, with the intense heat possibly playing a role in the tragedy.

Residents of the area alerted authorities due to a foul odor coming from the house. The bodies have been transferred to the Policlinico di Napoli, where an autopsy has been ordered to determine the causes of death.
