Ashley Olsen, a 35-year-old
American artist found dead in her flat in Florence at the
weekend, appeared to be facing tension with her friends while
she was in the Montecarla club in the early hours of Friday
morning, a worker at the club said.
An autopsy found on Tuesday that Olsen had been strangled
with a cord or rope.
"There was some movement, some tension," the worker in the
club, one of the last places where Olsen was seen alive, told a
Rai Toscana news programme.
She said Olsen had arrived in the bar at about five in the
morning, and that she had appeared to leave with the other girls
she was with.
Tests have been ordered to see if Olsen had sex, consensual
or forced, before her death and to see if there were any drugs
in her body, coroners said on Tuesday.
Olsen's 42-year-old Florentine boyfriend, painter Federico
Fiorentini, and several other friends have been questioned.
In September, Olsen wrote "I have a stalker" on her
Instagram account, although the post appears to have been a
joke.
