CT and MRI scans have been conducted at the family’s request, leaving retired physician Giuseppe Noschese to repatriate his son’s body. “Results from the new tests will take a few days,” Noschese stated, acknowledging that while evidence is pending, the irreversible reality remains: “Michele is gone, and no one can bring him back.”
Pino Noschese prepares to return to Naples with his son’s remains. “The body has been released, and cremation is scheduled within hours. Then we head home to Naples. My wife Daniela, my other son Giampiero, and I are utterly devastated,” he told ANSA, reflecting on the week that upended their lives. Michele died on the morning of July 19.
The latest diagnostic tests—performed with an independent consultant present—will verify or challenge the initial autopsy, which found no signs of physical assault. This supports the Spanish Civil Guard’s account that their intervention was appropriate when they arrested the DJ, known as Godzi, as he raged outside his Ibiza home.
Witnesses, including a woman interviewed by *Diario de Ibiza*, unanimously described Michele as “out of his mind” but confirmed he was not beaten. “I saw Michele trespass on his 82-year-old neighbor’s balcony, shaking him violently,” the witness testified, corroborated by resident-recorded videos. “I don’t know if it was psychosis or drugs, but he seemed deranged.” She added that when she urged the DJ’s friends—who had attended an overnight party at his home—to intervene, they replied: “He’s lost his mind; it’s impossible to stop him.”
The Civil Guard arrived alongside private security and an ambulance initially dispatched for the elderly victim. “They told us he died of cardiac arrest,” the witness stated, noting that while disruptive incidents were common at the property, they had escalated recently. “He appeared deeply troubled, like he’d hit rock bottom. This was the end.”
Though the autopsy cited “chronic drug use” as a possible cause of death, Giuseppe Noschese contested the claim: “How can the Civil Guard assert my son was a habitual drug user? He was an athlete in perfect health. Show me any prior complaints against him.” He similarly dismissed alleged assaults, referencing both the elderly neighbor and a woman who fled Michele’s home screaming. “Michele wasn’t engaged but had female companionship that night. He was a joyful, beloved person—not someone who’d attack others,” his father insisted.
Questioning the timeline, Noschese revealed Michele texted friends at 7:49 a.m. on July 19, warning, “Stop making noise; the neighbors are complaining”—a message now part of the investigation. “By 8:15 a.m., he was dead. I still need to understand why.”
While affirming “maximum trust” in Spanish authorities, Noschese clarified his complaint against the Civil Guard for homicide was “a necessary step.” As a doctor, he stressed: “If Michele suffered convulsions after restraint, he needed medical aid—not to be beaten and shackled hand and foot.” He seeks only truth, not vengeance: “I want to understand what happened.”
