Who was Mario Biondo?
Mario Biondo was a cameraman from Italy and the husband of popular Spanish TV presenter, Raquel Sánchez-Silva. The couple were married for a year before he was found dead in his home in May 2023, in Madrid, Spain.
What happened to Mario Biondo?
Mario Biondo was found to have committed suicide at his home library, and was found with a pashmina shawl wrapped around his neck.
The circumstances around his death were suspicious and his family didn’t believe he would have committed suicide, which his death was ruled as to begin with. The news of his death lead to a flurry of media speculation and theories about how he had died.
A decade since his death, there is no “conclusive evidence” as to how he died, according to The Scotsman.
Mario’s parents, Santina and Goofy Biondo, worked non-stop to get their son’s case reopened and in August 2022, an Italian court decided his death may have been a murder and the scene had allegedly been tampered with.
Following this, his family have made attempts to relaunch the investigation in Spain, asking authorities to look into facts about their son’s mysterious death.
