The remains of 25-year-old Janna G. were cremated in Rome on Wednesday.

The urn will be sent to the family this week, said the responsible city councilor Sabrina Alfonsi.

And she expressed her condolences to the bereaved in Upper Franconia "for the terrible loss".

It is unlikely that the tragic case will come to an end.

Because there is a heated argument about the circumstances, even responsibility for the sudden death of Janna G. on January 20 in a beach parking lot in Focene near Rome.

Janna and her 34-year-old Irish boyfriend, Michael D., have been traveling in their silver-grey motorhome, which they converted, since November.

The two documented in detail the expansion work on their vehicle, which they affectionately called "Nic", on social media.

Janna and Michael continued their reports during the trip.

The photos show an apparently happy couple crossing the Alps in a camper, exploring southern Italy and Sicily and sitting on colorful park benches in Malta.

From January 14, "Nic" will be in the parking lot next to "Havana Beach" in Focene, a seaside resort within sight and sound of Rome's Fiumicino Airport.

On the afternoon of January 20, Michael later reports to Italian media, Janna suddenly loses consciousness after bending down to get something out of the fridge.

Because Janna's breathing is shallow and her pulse is weak, Michael immediately calls the emergency number 118.

It's 3:39 p.m.

According to both Michael's statement and official information from the capital region of Lazio, this first conversation will be held in English.

Michael states precisely what happened and where the gray camper van is.

The man from the emergency call center passed on the information in Italian to the control center for the deployment of the local ambulance.

This first phone call ends after about eight minutes.

The ambulance is said to be on the way, and the location was determined using the GPS data from Michael's cell phone.

At 4:10 p.m., Michael dials the emergency number a second time because there is no ambulance in sight and Janna's condition has deteriorated.

Michael said he was trying to revive him while he was on hold for the second call to the emergency services center because this time no one on the other end of the line understood English.

They didn't understand him, says Michael

The ambulance finally arrives 43 minutes after the first call.

Janna dies shortly after being admitted to the hospital in Ostia.

"Janna could still be alive if help had come in time," Michael later told the newspaper "La Repubblica".

But the emergency call service did not understand him, especially not on the second call.

The Lazio region and the rescue service reject the accusation.

In fact, the ambulance was there 18 minutes after the first call.

But the camper was no longer in the parking space determined by the GPS data from the cell phone.

Michael rejects this view.

He only drove off with the mobile home after the second call to go in search of the ambulance himself.

In order to refute Michael D.'s allegations, the authorities have published the recording of the first call, which was made in English.

According to a statement from the Lazio region, the emergency call center offers translations into 16 languages, including Ukrainian.

But the published recording of the conversation, which was held in English, only covers the first two minutes.

The recording of the apparently more difficult exchange of the following six minutes was not published.

It is unclear whether and when the recording of the second phone call will also be published.

Also unknown is the result of the autopsy of Janna G’s body ordered by the public prosecutor’s office in Civitavecchia and carried out on January 26.

According to Italian media reports, the investigations by the Carabinieri and the forensic experts have so far not revealed any evidence of the use of violence or drug or medication abuse by Janna G.

However, in one of Janna's last posts on the Instagram page that she shared with Michael, it says: "I can't wait to fight my anxiety."

The public prosecutor's office in Civitavecchia has launched an investigation into suspected assisted suicide.

The surviving relatives of Janna Gs have hired a lawyer in Rome to help determine the background to their daughter's death.

According to his own statements, the lawyer did not receive another order to represent Michael D.'s interests and legal interests.
