Cops haven't ruled out foul play in the 24-year-old's untimely passing that continues to be investigated.
Aurora, from Palermo, Italy, tragically fell from the balcony on the night of June 21 at her home in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
The flight attendant sadly succumbed to her injuries in hospital two days after her initial fall.
Aurora was at home with her 27-year-old boyfriend, also from Palermo, when she plunged from the balcony, according to cops.
He was the one who called emergency services after her fall.
Aurora worked as a flight attendant for Lauda Europe, a Maltese low-cost airline that operates on behalf of parent company Ryanair.
Authorities said her unnamed boyfriend is a flight attendant for another airline.
Investigators are checking her phone and devices to get an idea of the circumstances leading up to the young woman's fatal fall.
They are also awaiting the results of an autopsy that was requested by her grieving family.
Their lawyer Alberto Raffadale said: 'We have filed two complaints, one with the prosecutor's office in Vienna and one with the Palermo prosecutor's office.'
The investigation into Aurora's tragic death continues.
The tragedy comes after it was announced that the truth behind Brit Kirsty Maxwell's death is to be revealed in a new podcast.
Kirsty, 27, died after falling from the 10th floor apartment occupied by five men from Nottingham when on a hen party.
At first, it was suspected Kirsty had been murdered, but following a Spanish police investigation, the case was shelved and her death was recorded as an accident.
Her grieving family, however, refuse to accept this.
'I know she didn't jump,' says Kirsty's aunt Angela Lees, 64. 'She wouldn't take her own life.
"There's no way. That girl had everything to live for. She didn't sleepwalk. She had a drink in her, but she wasn't falling-about drunk.'
Now, the family's eight-year fight to discover the truth is being told by a new podcast.
What Happened To Kirsty Maxwell? is written, narrated and produced by true crime podcaster Naomi Channell, who decided to make the series after meeting Kirsty's family at a CrimeCon event in 2023, which they were attending to raise awareness of their campaign.

Labour hands illegal immigrants £60m to fight asylum claims
Labour will increase legal aid fees for asylum cases by a third after small boat crossings hit 20,000 for the year. The Ministry of Justice has announced that the fees paid to lawyers to represent migrants fighting to stay in Britain will go up by 30 per cent. The direct costs to the taxpayer will rise from £47 million a year to £61 million. Ministers said the move was necessary to clear the 90,000-strong backlog of asylum claims and end the use of hotels to house migrants. It comes just a day after the 20,000 mark for small boat arrivals was breached at a record early point in the year. 'Soft touch of Britain' Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: 'Yet again, Labour is showing their true colours. On the side of illegal immigrants, not the British people. 'Having removed our deterrent on day one, since then they have done everything in their power to make Britain the soft touch of Europe on migration. This will just make it even more attractive to illegally arrive in the UK. 'They said they would smash the gangs, but all they are doing is helping them smash small boat records.' He added: 'These parasitic lawyers help illegal immigrants manufacture bogus asylum, human rights and modern slavery claims and now they're going to be given even more taxpayers' hard-earned money. 'Labour is more interested in rewarding those who enable illegal immigration than protecting our borders. No wonder 2025 so far has been the worst in history for illegal immigrants crossing the channel.' The 30 per cent uprating will be the first time the funding has been raised since it was set in 2006, based on hourly rates established in 1996. In recent years concerns have been raised over the shrinking pool of firms who are prepared to take on legal aid work given the rates paid for it. Sarah Sackman, the justice minister, said the extra investment 'will help us support the immigration system' and clear the asylum backlog. Announcing the reforms, she said: 'In immigration, the new government is serious and ambitious about ending hotel use and increasing returns. 'This can only be done with the support of legal aid professionals, which is why supporting the capacity of the sector is crucial.' But the change is likely to prove controversial, given that it comes against the backdrop of a series of highly controversial immigration decisions. The Telegraph has revealed a string of cases where asylum seekers have been able to thwart deportation by relying on human rights laws. In one recent judgment a Pakistani criminal was allowed to stay in the UK after a judge ruled that his deportation would damage his son's mental health. Another saw an asylum seeker from Tajikistan granted the right to remain because he would have had to shave his beard off if he was deported. Migrant legal aid is largely restricted to asylum seekers and can fund cases involving fighting detention and deportation as well as accommodation claims. It is also used in cases involving migrant victims of domestic violence and modern slavery.

Ban on Palestine Action to take effect after legal challenge fails
Being a member of, or showing support for, Palestine Action will be a criminal offence from Saturday after a last-minute legal challenge to suspend the group's proscription under anti-terrorism laws failed. A ban on Palestine Action, which uses direct action to mainly target Israeli weapons factories in the UK and their supply chain, was voted through by parliament this week but lawyers acting for its co-founder Huda Ammori had sought to prevent it taking effect. After a hearing at the high court on Friday, however, Mr Justice Chamberlain declined to grant her application for interim relief. Ammori said: 'The home secretary is rushing through the implementation of the proscription at midnight tonight despite the fact that our legal challenge is ongoing and that she has been completely unclear about how it will be enforced, leaving the public in the dark about their rights to free speech and expression after midnight tonight when this proscription comes into effect.' Chamberlain said: 'I have concluded that the harm which would ensue if interim relief is refused but the claim later succeeds is insufficient to outweigh the strong public interest in maintaining the order in force.' Ammori sought permission to appeal against Chamberlain's decision in an 8pm hearing that lasted approximately one hour at the court of appeal on Friday night, in an attempt to prevent the ban coming into force. But at about 10.25pm – less than two hours before it was due to take effect – the three judges, led by the lady chief justice, Sue Carr, refused permission. It means Palestine Action will become the first direct action protest group to be banned under the Terrorism Act, placing it in the same category as Islamic State, al-Qaida and the far-right group National Action. Raza Husain KC, representing Ammori, described the proscription decision in the hearing before Chamberlain, as 'an ill-considered, discriminatory and authoritarian abuse of statutory power'. He said it was 'absurd' to label a civil disobedience direct action protest group that does not advocate violence as a terrorist organisation. 'The main target has been stopping Elbit Systems … which markets itself as the backbone of the IDF [Israel Defense Forces],' said Husain. 'As my client says: 'The aim of terrorism is to take lives and hurt people, that's the opposite of what we do.'' He said before making the decision the government had engaged with the Israeli government, Elbit Systems and pro-Israeli lobby groups, while Palestine Action and other pro-Palestine groups were not consulted. Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC, also representing Ammori, said what was going on in Gaza was 'an annihilation, it is a genocide' and Palestine Action was 'seeking to disrupt and prevent' UK complicity in it. Ben Watson KC, representing the home secretary, focused on the proscription procedure in his submissions. 'All of these issues, all of that evidence is supposed to go to the secretaries of state… it's only after that process, after the secretary of state has had a chance to consider … then the matter goes before Poac [the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission].' He said only then could the case go to the court of appeal and then, potentially, the supreme court. Watson said Palestine Action's activities met the statutory test for proscription and that if the ban took effect but the group subsequently won a judicial review against proscription it would not cause 'irreparable harm' to it. He told the court that if a temporary block was granted, it would be a 'serious disfigurement of the statutory regime'. The protest group Defend Our Juries wrote to the Met police commissioner, Mark Rowley, on Friday to tell him that it 'may be committing offences under the Terrorism Act' in Parliament Square from 1pm on Saturday. It said non-violent protesters would hold signs saying: 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.' The letter said that they 'refuse to be bystanders to what's happening to the people of Palestine, who are bombed, starved and gunned down as they queue for food'. Several hundred protesters gathered, waving Palestinian flags and carrying signs saying 'Free Palestine' and 'We are all Palestine Action' outside the Royal Courts of Justice. UN experts, civil liberties groups, cultural figures and hundreds of lawyers have condemned the ban as draconian and said it sets a dangerous precedent by conflating protest with terrorism. Another hearing is scheduled for 21 July when Palestine Action will apply for permission for a judicial review to quash the order. In the meantime, and unless the judicial review is successful, membership of, or inviting support for, the group will carry a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.

Home Office orders ‘nationwide blitz' on asylum seekers working for delivery apps
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has ordered a nationwide immigration "enforcement crackdown" aimed at tackling illegal working in the gig economy. Officers will conduct checks in hotspots across the country, specifically targeting asylum seekers suspected of working as delivery riders without permission. This initiative follows discussions with ministers, leading Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat to announce they will ramp up facial verification and fraud checks in the coming months. Last week the shadow home secretary, Chris Philp, claimed in a post on X to have found evidence of people working illegally for the food delivery firms during a visit to a hotel used to house asylum seekers. On Saturday, the Home Office said anyone caught 'flagrantly abusing the system in this way' will face having state support discontinued, whether entitlement to accommodation or payments. 'Strategic, intel-driven activity will bring together officers across the UK and place an increased focus on migrants suspected of working illegally whilst in taxpayer-funded accommodation or receiving financial support,' the Home Office said. 'The law is clear that asylum seekers are only entitled to this support if they would otherwise be destitute.' Businesses who illegally employ people will also face fines of up to £60,000 per worker, director disqualifications and potential prison sentences of up to five years. Asylum seekers in the UK are normally barred from work while their claim is being processed, though permission can be applied for after a year of waiting. It comes as the Government struggles with its pledge to 'smash the gangs' of people-smugglers facilitating small boat crossings in the English Channel, which have reached record levels this year. Some 20,600 people have made the journey so far in 2025, up 52 per cent on the same period in 2024. Ms Cooper said: 'Illegal working undermines honest business and undercuts local wages, the British public will not stand for it and neither will this Government. 'Often those travelling to the UK illegally are sold a lie by the people-smuggling gangs that they will be able to live and work freely in this country, when in reality they end up facing squalid living conditions, minimal pay and inhumane working hours. 'We are surging enforcement action against this pull factor, on top of returning 30,000 people with no right to be here and tightening the law through our Plan for Change.' Home Office director of enforcement, compliance and crime, Eddy Montgomery, said: 'This next step of co-ordinated activity will target those who seek to work illegally in the gig economy and exploit their status in the UK. 'That means if you are found to be working with no legal right to do so, we will use the full force of powers available to us to disrupt and stop this abuse. There will be no place to hide.' Deliveroo has said the firm takes a 'zero tolerance approach' to abuse on the platform and that despite measures put in place over the last year, 'criminals continue to seek new ways to abuse the system'. An Uber Eats spokesperson has said they will continue to invest in tools to detect illegal work and remove fraudulent accounts, while Just Eat says it is committed to strengthening safeguards 'in response to these complex and evolving challenges.' Responding to the announcement, Mr Philp said: 'It shouldn't take a visit to an asylum hotel by me as shadow home secretary to shame the Government into action.' He added: 'The Government should investigate if there is wrongdoing by the delivery platforms and if there is a case to answer, they should be prosecuted. 'This is a very serious issue because illegal working is a pull factor for illegal immigration into the UK – people smugglers actually advertise it.' Mr Philp also said women and girls were being put at risk because deliveries were being made to their homes by people 'from nationalities we know have very high rates of sex offending', without specifying which nationalities he was referring to.
