Prosecutors in Bari have opened a
probe into the parents of a 31-year-old disabled woman who
allegedly died from privation at her home in the seaside town of
Polignano a Mare on January 6, it emerged on Tuesday.
The parents are being investigated for abandonment of an
incapacitated person, aggravated by death.
Investigators say for years they allegedly refused support
from social services for the woman, who was found to have been
living in precarious conditions.
An autopsy is to be carried out to establish the exact cause
of death.
