(ANSA) - Rome, January 23 - A jail hunger striker died in a
Naples hospital Monday after slipping into a coma after a string
of bids for release were turned down. The last release plea,
filed January 19, was accompanied by a medical note saying
36-year-old Roman Stefano Crescenzi was "in imminent danger of
death". Crescenzi was sentenced to 23 years at a first-instance
trial for the March 2013 murder of Giuseppe Cordaro.
