Suicide
The victim died by suicide after he was raped while lying on a stretcher in a gynecology department. He had been admitted to hospital because of alleged abuse by his family.
Media reporting misgendered him.
A few days ago, a 22-year-old trans boy, after being kidnapped while in the emergency room of the Vizzolo Predabissi hospital, [died by suicide in the hospital]. The victim's friends published an open letter on social media to try to shed light on what happened.
Last May 27, a trans boy arrived at the hospital in Vizzolo Predabissi (Milan), as reported by ANSA, for alleged abuse that had occurred in his family. Once he arrived at the hospital, the young man was attacked while he was on a stretcher. The boy, after reporting the incident, was then transported to a second hospital, and then inexplicably taken back to the first hospital.
Here the young man, after being left alone in a room on the fourth floor of the building, perhaps suffering from mental fragility due to the violence he had suffered, [died by suicide]. After many articles about the story, the victim's friends decided to write and share a letter to clarify what happened.
“This morning the newspapers reported the death of our friend, which occurred on the evening of the 28th,” the letter begins. “After having presented himself at the emergency room of the Vizzolo Predabissi hospital in a state of mental fragility, he was raped by another patient. After immediately reporting the incident to the staff, he was taken to the Mangiagalli hospital, where injuries consistent with abuse were confirmed.” The boy, the letter continues, “was taken back to the first hospital, where the violence had occurred, for social shelter, an emergency measure for people who have nowhere to go to be safe. Shortly after, he [died by suicide].”
“Despite the fact that he was a trans boy whose male pronouns were clearly indicated on his social profiles, all the newspapers called him 'woman' and referred to him with his old female pronouns. We have many questions about what happened, ” the letter continues. And in fact, initially the newspapers, unaware of some information, reported the news incorrectly, referring to the victim as female.
The young victim's friends rightly wonder how it is possible that such violence could have occurred "in a protected place like a hospital", why the young man was left alone despite "a traumatic event and a difficult and well-documented psychiatric history" and, above all, why the boy died "alone and without protection".
