Police in Sicily are investigating the death of British man Benjamin Braithwaite, who is reported to have been found in a commune in the region. Italian media reports say investigators are examining circumstances around his death and treating it as a criminal inquiry.
According to the reports cited by outlets, police rule out suicide. The Independent additionally reports that investigators are looking into the possibility that Braithwaite died during an erotic game that went wrong. Yahoo UK News carries the same reported police position on suicide being ruled out, focusing on the investigation rather than the specific circumstances described by other coverage.
The accounts differ mainly in detail: some reporting emphasizes the official conclusion about suicide, while other coverage includes an asserted scenario being considered by police. Both outlets describe the matter as an active police investigation in Sicily and provide no confirmed information about the cause of death beyond the reported exclusion of suicide.
