A 55-year-old Italian manager who
went missing from Bellinzona in Switzerland on Christmas Day,
Enrico Maccari, was found dead in Milan on Tuesday.
The body of Maccari, a manager in a pharmaceuticals firm, was
found in an apartment in Via Fratelli Pozzi in the northern
Italian city, an area where many sex workers ply their trade in
their homes.
There were no signs of violence on the body," police sources
said.
His body was lying in the living room of a two-family flat,
they said.
Police are trying to trace the owners of the flat.
The Milan flying squad, which is investigating, has ordered
an autopsy to establish cause of death.
The manager's car was found in the same area on December 29.
Police found packets of medicine, his computer and other
personal effects in the vehicle - but not his ID documents,
credit cards or two cellphones.
Police said they were ready to consider all leads.
It is not yet known why Maccari was in Milan.
Acquaintances told police he did not have any contacts in
that area of Milan, on its northern outskirts.
Born in Lecco but resident for some time in Bellinzona,
Maccari had recently changed jobs.
His children said he had not shown any signs of concern in
the days leading up to his disappearance.
Police said they will try to establish if he fell ill and
died, killed himself or was murdered.
