“We will fight for the truth” crowd and colors at Alex Marangon’s funeral, the mystery of his death remains

“We must find the strength to walk again, to bring you the truth, we will do it for you: it is what you deserve”. A phoenix is ​​drawn on Alex’s coffin, a symbol of rebirth. A thousand people are present and there is great collective applause. Before starting the mass, mother Sabrina speaks, supported by her daughter Giada. Then the notes of Messenger by Linkin Park sung by Alex’s recorded voice. The cousins ​​remember the twenty-five year old’s extraordinary life, his travels, the places he had in his heart. As they leave the church the loudspeakers play Coldplay’s Viva la vida, colored balloons and smoke bombs rise, colored sand in the style of holy party. Alex was greeted like this by the family’s wish, in the way he would have most desired. With chairs in a semicircle, a careful religious ceremony and an explosion of colors.

Meanwhile from a secret location, via Oscar Palet Santandreu, Spanish lawyer specialized in protection from shamanic ritesJohnny Benavides and Sebastian Castillos speak, the two curanderos guests at the ceremony in the Abbey of Vidor on June 28. “I cannot say where my clients are, they just want it to be known that they are dismayed by Alex’s death. They want to give this message to the family who are going through terrible pain. They were shocked” the lawyer reports to Courier of Veneto.

The curanderos’ version is that he was not present at the party. ayahuasca but only purgative herbal teas that can induce a state of anger and confusion. The lawyer reports that the two clients noticed Alex’s confusion during the ceremony in the church. When the boy stood up they followed him but since they did not understand his words they went back to look for a translator. However, when they went out, Alex had disappeared. The darkness and the thick undergrowth prevented them from finding him before hearing a thud, which in the version of the two Colombians would confirm Alex’s fall. According to the two Latin American shamans, the boy was in a very nervous state.

“It can happen that people get nervous. You have to prepare yourself. You go through things that you have inside and this can generate conflict, confusion. The laxative can expel anger or strong feelings,” the lawyer also reported to Corriere.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office, however, the following will be decisive: toxicological investigations to verify whether the 25-year-old had actually taken ayahuasca herbal teas or other psychotropic substances. Alex, after Friday’s simulation, does not appear to have fallen from the terrace overlooking the Piave of the abbey. No concrete evidence was found on this point. The toxicological tests will therefore provide a clearer direction to the investigations that are currently following two parallel paths. That of murder (supported by the family and the file in the Prosecutor’s Office) and that of the tragic accident, as declared by the Colombian curanderos and the other participants in the rite.
