A former general in the
forest rangers killed himself at the weekend after leaving a
letter saying the 29 people who died in an avalanche that hit
Abruzzo's Rigopiano Hotel in January "weigh me down like a
millstone".
Guido Conti's family said there was "no link" between the
Rigopiano disaster and the former general's death.
Prosecutors in Sulmona said Monday they had opened a probe
into instigation to suicide.
Conti, who took his own life in the countryside near Pacentro
on Friday, was laid to rest on Monday.
