A 71-year-old man threw himself off a sixth floor balcony to his death at Sesto San Giovanni near Milan while he was being evicted for not paying his rent, police said. The man was months behind in his rent, they said. The man died instantly.
When the bailiff arrived, the man jumped from the balcony."I can't take it anymore," he wrote in a suicide note. The man was divorced and lived alone."It's not just a personal tragedy, it's the sign of a system that has failed to hold up for years," accused the Green-Left Alliance (AVS), which is demanding an urgent government briefing on the housing emergency."(Transport and Infrastructure Minister Matteo) Salvini should report to the Lower House on the housing plan," was the appeal launched by the centrist Azione party.
