Rachele Ferrara, 28, and mother of two, died after six days in the hospital due to asphyxiation caused by a slice of bacon. According to reports, the young woman called for help in the street on August 13 after losing consciousness.

She was admitted to the Santa Rosa Hospital in Viterbo, where she was declared brain dead last night. During her ordeal, she had been without oxygen for about twenty minutes, which led to her critical condition.

The family has given consent for organ donation, as reported by La Repubblica. The tragic incident has evoked deep emotions within the local community.
