Sure, here it is: https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/bologna/cronaca/muore-di-co... (this is the first result on Google, but it was all over the news).

Title of the article: "Muore di Covid a 30 anni: è la vittima più giovane", which translates into "30-year-old dies of Covid, he's the youngest victim yet".

Article starts with: "Dying younger than 30 for Coronavirus: a cruel fate, that of Michele Grauso, 29-year-old financier (he would have turned thirty in August)."

Second paragraph, finally mentions the small detail that he had also been shot in the head and had been in a coma for 2 years: "He was hospitalized in a vegetative state in a private facility here in the city. A coma from which he had never come out since a partner in 2017 shot him in the head by mistake..."

On TV, most news channels didn't even mention the coma. The family actually complained and it came out.

Not sure if news want to be sensationalistic for clicks, or because they directly get paid to keep the level of panic high by whoever makes money from the emergency (which is many, many people in Italy). Probably both.

There is no doubt fear mongering about this topic exists in the media. This shouldn't be surprising. The death coding is surprising, at least to me. This idea of coding deaths in this way is not limited to Italy, but is happening in many countries including the U.S.

Dr. Deborah Brix replied to a reporter asking questions about death coding methods by saying that the U.S. was using liberal methods. In this article Professor Walter Riaccardi (scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health), complains about such coding methods:

So he'd been alive for two years in a coma? And presumably "stable"? And then contracts coronavirus and dies? It does sound like he'd have still been alive if he'd not contracted the virus.

You're right!

If a lightning hit the hospital and made the power go out and turn his life support off, they would've written he was killed by a lightning.
