September 30, 2019The pharmacist who would sell analgesic packs to the two Belgian brothers found dead Sunday in a four-star hotel room in Florence would be investigated for culpable homicide. At the moment there are no other suspects in the investigation.On Wednesday the prosecutor Giacomo Pestelli will appoint the coroner to perform the autopsy. In the inquiry into the death of Dries and Robbe De Ceuster, 27 and 20 years old, whose lifeless bodies were found by their father on Sunday afternoon in their hotel room in Florence, the pharmacist would have been entered in the register of suspects, for the hypothesis of the crime of negligent homicide, because he suspected of having sold without prescription, two packs of an analgesic drug based on opioids.
From the coroner's autopsy outcome, combined with the results of toxicological examinations, the investigators of the flying squad await possible confirmation of the hypothesis that to cause the death of the two Belgians was a mix of alcohol and a powerful analgesic .
To push the investigators to investigate the pharmacist, who from what we learn would be newly graduated, the discovery in the room of the two brothers of two packs, of 28 tablets each, of the oxycodone-based analgesic, an opioid with effects similar to those of morphine . One of the boxes was completely empty, while on the other, 14 tablets were missing.
Between Saturday and Sunday the two young men would therefore have consumed 42 doses of the drug, in addition to drinking alcohol. According to the hypothesis of the prosecution, the investigated pharmacist would have sold to one of the two Belgians the packs without a medical prescription, for the insistence of the boy, who claimed to experience a strong pain in a recently operated arm.
