Senigallia (Ancona), August 3, 2026 – The judicial and medical investigations are intensifying to shed full light on the tragic death of the 35-year-old of Ukrainian origin, who died yesterday morning at the hospital in Senigallia after a reckless car chase along the Adriatic State Road and a violent close-range collision with law enforcement. Investigation opened by the Ancona Prosecutor’s Office using the so-called ‘preliminary annotation’. Four carabinieri are reportedly included by the Ancona prosecutor’s office in the model 45bis. A necessary act by the Ancona prosecutor’s office to protect the officers who intervened to chase the fleeing man and stop him using a taser.
File opened
The reconstruction of the events is under review by the investigators of the Ancona Prosecutor’s Office, led by Monica Garulli, the file held by prosecutor Valeria Cigliola was registered this morning with the formula of preliminary annotation which applies when a fact appears evident in the presence of a justification cause, avoiding immediate registration in the register of suspects. At the moment, the hypothesis of the crime is unknown.
Forensic investigations
Meanwhile, the machine of forensic investigations has already started. Late yesterday morning, the body of the young foreigner was transferred from Senigallia to Ancona, where it is now at the forensic medicine institute, fully at the disposal of the judicial authority. The performance of the autopsy, which will be entrusted in the coming hours, will be crucial to establish with absolute scientific certainty the causes that caused the sudden and fatal cardiac arrest of the man, which occurred only a few minutes after his arrival in red code at the Emergency Room.

Toxicological screenings
Alongside the autopsy, there is great anticipation for the results of the tests and toxicological screenings to which the 35-year-old was promptly subjected. A crucial step, since his state of severe psychophysical alteration was evident and clear from the moment the Carabinieri of the Mobile Radio Unit intercepted him on Via Raffaello Sanzio and struggled to immobilize him after the foot chase.
One of the carabinieri injured
During those tense seconds of scuffle near Villa Torlonia, the man struggled with such violence as to even injure one of the Carabinieri officers, biting deeply on a finger and forcing him to seek medical care at the hospital. The coming days will therefore be decisive to clarify whether substance use or a sudden illness was behind the road madness and subsequent death.
