The girl was killed by an overdose. And the Carabinieri and the Sciacca Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into the matter, dubbed "Veleno," after the toxic, non-narcotic poison that killed the 20-year-old from Ribera.

More than 7 kilos of hashish and approximately 10,000 euros were seized.
