June 29, 2022
A real tragedy that occurred a few hours ago in Southern Italy, yet another "side effect" of the summer that broke a person's life: a 60-year-old, as reported by NewsSicilia.it, suddenly collapsed on the beach and is dead. The intervention first of the bathers and then of the rescuers who tried in every way to revive the man was useless, unfortunately there was nothing to do and he lost his life in a few moments. The drama took place in Campofelice di Roccella, in the province of Palermo.
A 60-year-old man, an Israeli citizen of Russian origin, was on the shore of the Sicilian town when he suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground to the amazement of those present; he had just gotten out of the water when he passed out without getting up again. Some swimmers would have tried to save him, after realizing the malaise, and would have called an ambulance. Vain attempts at resuscitation by the 118 staff arrived on the spot. Also present were the Carabinieri and the Harbor Master's Office.
The police, after having received information from witnesses and doctors who tried to revive the Israeli on vacation in Italy, have opened an investigation to discover the causes of the tragic accident: the most probable track is that of illness in water.
