Prosecutor wants autopsy of MPS spokesman after suicide
Troubled bank asks for silence 'in respect of David Rossi'

(ANSA) - Siena, March 7 - The public prosecutor
investigating the apparent suicide Wednesday of David Rossi, the
former head of communications of troubled lender Monte dei
Paschi di Siena (MPS), asked for an autopsy to be carried out on
the body, reversing an earlier decision Thursday.Initially, the prosecutor, Nicola Marini, said that only an "external inspection" was needed.
In a statement released by the bank, MPS said it "asks for silence as a form of respect towards David Rossi".
Rossi is believed to have jumped from his office window.
His house and office were recently searched as part of a probe into financial scandals at the bank, but he was not under suspicion of wrongdoing.
In his office he left a note to his wife that said, "I made a mess".
Investigators Thursday found other scraps of paper in his office which appeared to indicate he was attempting to write a letter to his wife to explain his decision.
