The health background of Simona Cinà, the young volleyball player discovered deceased during a poolside gathering at a Bagheria villa, formed the core of extensive testimony provided by her relatives to Carabinieri investigators yesterday. Authorities are examining whether the athlete had prior medical issues—critical information for reconstructing events during Saturday night’s incident. Parents and siblings emphasized the competitive sportswoman consistently maintained excellent health and underwent regular medical screenings to maintain athletic certification.
During the family’s preliminary statements, prosecutors formally served the Cinàs with a seizure validation order for evidence collected from the villa, signed by Deputy Prosecutor Raffaele Cammarano. Confiscated items included Simona’s clothing, the swimsuit she wore, along with bottles, glasses, and plates recovered from the scene.
Overnight forensic procedures included CT scans, MRI imaging, and X-rays on the remains. An autopsy scheduled for today aims to determine water presence in the lungs—a potential indicator of drowning—with complementary histological examinations also being conducted.
