Heart attack at 11 years old, the tragedy of little Gabriele. And "another sudden illness" struck down 35-year-old Silvia - is this the new normal?
November 19, 2023
Will this be the new normal? A cardiac arrest at the age of 11, an anomalous and serious and, unfortunately, not unprecedented event which we only learn about from the local press, while the self-proclaimed "information professionals", the same ones who terrorized us for almost three years with the emergency pandemic, now they are silent. Ponticelli, a populous municipality in the Municipality of Naples, is still in the grip of shock and pain over what happened to the child, who suffered a heart attack while he was at home. If the news was only released yesterday, the funeral took place on November 17th in the church of San Pietro e Paolo, the parish of the Merola di Ponticelli park where little Gabriele lived. Applause and tears accompanied the white coffin.
Disbelief and dismay accompanied another disappearance attributed to "sudden illness". It happened in Brescia, in Prevalle to be precise, where 35-year-old Silvia Gosetti [above] felt unwell while she was in the office, at her workplace. Naturally, colleagues immediately alerted the emergency services, but the mad rush to the hospital could not prevent a tragic epilogue. She leaves her parents and Sergio, her partner, in pain. Numerous messages of condolence, many remember a "sunny and full of life" girl.
