The doctors decided, this Saturday, to suspend his feeding. Since September 12, treatment had been withdrawn and only palliative therapy was applied, according to local media.
The 61-year-old gangster has been suffering from colon cancer for three years. He was arrested on January 16 when he went to undergo chemotherapy at a clinic in the Sicilian capital, Palermo. Afterwards he was taken to the maximum security prison in L’Aquila, but after his health worsened, the authorities decided to transfer him to the prisoner unit of that city’s hospital, amidst strong security measures.
The criminal has left a “biological will” or last will document in which he asks that his life not be prolonged through treatments or machinery, according to the same sources.
