Reggiolo – He was suddenly killed in the car, while with a friend he was returning from a day spent in his home town, in the province of Pavia, to send good wishes to friends and acquaintances. It happened the other night. Stefano Zambarbieri, 48 years old, originally from Santa Cristina and Bissone, in the Pavia area, had lived in Villanova di Reggiolo for three years now and worked in a company in the area as a specialized worker. The other evening he was in the car driven by a friend. Still on the highway, a few dozen kilometers from home, he complained of severe pain in one leg. Stefano and his friend stopped for a short break at a service station. “Stefano,” says his brother Daniele, “went to the toilet, then got back into the car saying that he wasn't feeling very well. He sort of dozed off." Instead, his heart stopped beating during the journey. Only upon arriving home, in via Affò in Reggiolo, did we realize what had happened, when Stefano did not answer his friend's calls. His brother, who lives in a house a few meters away, was immediately called, prompting rescue efforts. While waiting for the local Red Cross ambulance and the medical vehicle, it was the brother himself who performed the cardiac massage. Everything useless. The police also intervened to investigate. The causes of death were deemed "natural", with the body already returned to the family.
