Death of Cloe Bianco, trans professor: “The case is closed, there was no instigation to suicide”

The case of the death of Cloe Bianco has been dismissed. According to the prosecutor’s office, no one is responsible for having incited to suicide the transgender professor originally from Marcon, in the province of Venice, who in June, at the age of 58, died charred to death in her camper, which she used as a home.

After the fire of the vehicle, the Belluno Public Prosecutor’s Office had opened a file against unknown persons and without the hypothesis of a crime. The trace of the murder was immediately excluded: the checks carried out by the firefighters and the investigations coordinated by the Belluno judiciary did not identify any circumstance that suggests profiles of responsibility on the part of other people. But no elements have emerged to support the thesis that Cloe Bianco’s suicide was caused by external pressures. The Belluno Public Prosecutor’s Office has established that no one can be blamed for the death of the professor, who would have decided on her own to end her life.

But that of White Cloe had been a death foretold. On her blog, the professor had written: «Immediately after the publication of this statement, I will put into being my self-righteousness, even more definable as my free death. On this last day I celebrated with a delicious meal and excellent nectars of Bacchus, enjoying for the last time wines and foods that I like. This simple end of my life party was accompanied by listening to good music in my little house on wheels, where I will now stay. This is the noblest way to live my life to the fullest and end it in the same style. This is where it all ends.”

Chloe White she had been a physics teacher at the Mattei Agricultural Institute in San Donà di Piave, in the province of Venice. In 2015, she had entered the classroom wearing (as she dreamed of her when she was 5 years old) women’s clothes and she had asked the students to be called, from that day, Cloe. The professor had been suspended for three days, and she had appealed to the Venice Labor Court. The judges, however, had not agreed with her, but only because her transition, defined as a “legitimate identity choice”, in front of the students, had been too sudden. “If the times and methods of this choice had been implemented differently”, it was written in the sentence, “this would have been responsible, correct and suited to the function of teacher”.

In recent times, then, Cloe Bianco had been removed from teaching, and carried out secretarial work. She had written the book “TRANSgenre PEOPLE. Manifesto and Project of the dignity and rights of transgender people in Italy »and she had a blog.

His suffering was excruciating. “I am ugly, decidedly ugly, I am a transgender woman,” she wrote. «I don’t even pity, not even this».
