The owner of Romeo's Chalet had been taken ill at home. Hence the desperate rush to the emergency room and hospitalization, where after a few days his heart stopped beating. A death for which the family has asked questions. Together with his wife Albina Iannini, the entrepreneur ran the bar-restaurant on the ski lifts, a point of reference for sportsmen and winter sports enthusiasts, but also for the many operators involved in rescue operations on the slopes during the peak tourist season. Two years ago, his refreshment bar was destroyed by a fire that broke out due to a short circuit. Despite the serious damage that had made the structure unusable, Ciuffoletti had not given up, moving the established business to the Le Cerchiare chalet. Even during the pandemic he had made his voice heard several times. Those were the times when the restrictions to limit the spread of Covid had dealt a serious blow to all activities that revolved around winter sports. He was always at the forefront for the defense of tourism in the Rocche plateau. His death has shocked many people. The restaurateur was well known and appreciated throughout the district. He is remembered as a person of “character, serious, reliable and in love with his work”.

Rescue for a sudden illness, but the defibrillator of the Municipality of Como does not work
December 14, 2022
Dramatic moments lived in via Dante in Como in the late morning of December 12, 2022. A 66-year-old man was seized by a sudden illness and collapsed to the ground. Some passersby rescued him but it was a doctor from the Valduce hospital in Como who understood the seriousness of the situation and tried to save his life. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, the doctor first performed the resuscitation maneuver with manual cardiac massage, then tried the portable semi-automatic defibrillator taken from the entrance to the Municipality of Como, in via Bertinelli. Unfortunately when he tried to activate it he made a dramatic discovery: the device didn't work. After a few minutes, an ambulance from the Croce Azzurra di Como arrived. The paramedics tried again to revive the man, this time with the defibrillator supplied with the rescue vehicle. When the man was urgently transported to the Valduce hospital, his heart still showed very weak signs of activity, but the 66-year-old's conditions were serious to say the least. The man arrived at the hospital dead. There is no evidence that the fatal epilogue could have been avoided with the functioning of the defibrillator, but certainly the malfunction of the device raises some questions that someone will have to answer. Who is responsible for the control and maintenance of semi-automatic defibrillators positioned in public places? Why didn't the device located outside the Municipality of Como work? Is it due to a breakdown or lack of maintenance? What to do to prevent it from happening again?

Five killed in “vaxxidents”:
Sudden illness at the wheel, then the crash: killed instantly
December 20, 2022
Dramatic accident today morning, Tuesday 20 December, along State Road 42 of Tonale and Mendola. In the crash, which occurred just before 9 in Spinone al Lago (Bg), a 78-year-old man lost his life. According to the first leaked information, the elderly man would have lost control of his car, which ended up running off the road. The assistance was immediate, but unfortunately useless: the doctors - who arrived aboard two litter cars and an air ambulance - could not have done anything other than ascertaining the death of the motorist. The dynamics are being examined by the carabinieri of Clusone, but there would be very few doubts about the causes of the tragedy: the 78-year-old would have suddenly skidded due to a sudden illness he accused while, at the wheel of his car, he was facing the roundabout in via Nazionale.

Killed by a sudden illness while going by car: he swerves and ends up in the ditch
December 19, 2022
He was driving a car when he suddenly skidded and ran off the road, ending up in the side ditch of the roadway. The skid was most likely caused by a sudden illness which then killed him, the man was found lifeless slumped behind the wheel. This is what happened on Monday morning at the gates of Meldola. Around 13.30 the car, a Volkswagen Tiguan, ended up off the road along the Bidente provincial road, at the new roundabout of the Conad supermarket, at the entrance to the town. The car was proceeding in the direction of the mountain, when it precisely skidded sideways, then ending up in the escarpment. The modalities of the accident were not compatible with those typical of causing a death on the spot by impact, so it was immediately thought of an illness. The driver was a 69-year-old man from Forlimpopoli. The 118 ambulances were brought to the scene to attempt an extreme rescue, but unfortunately there was nothing more to be done.

It cannot be ruled out that while driving the man had an illness that caused him to lose control of driving along a track that is characterized by several curves.

49-year-old from Borgo Virgilio found dead in a ditch next to the Spolverina: investment or illness?
December 15, 2022
Curtatone – The lifeless body found today in the ditch on the side of Strada Circonvallazione sud (Spolverina) between Levata and Cerese at around 1.30 would belong to a 49-year-old man from Borgo Virgilio. The alarm was raised by some motorists who saw the shape of the body in the ditch full of water. The firefighters have fished out the now lifeless body of the man on whose cause of death some shadows remain. Did he fall into the ditch on his own, perhaps slipping due to illness? Or was he instead hit by a vehicle that didn't stop? The body would not present wounds or traumas and this would allow the first hypothesis to extend, but only the autopsy that will be performed in the next few hours will be able to answer these questions. Another thing that remains to be understood is what the man did on foot, in the rain, on the side of a road as busy and without a pedestrian platform as the Spolverina. Investigations underway by the police
He hits his head and is slightly injured, but collapses and dies a few days later.
December 15, 2022
Seven days of prognosis after the accident, almost nothing. But after less than forty-eight hours something happens and Massimiliano Cocco dies. The autopsy will now clarify why. It is the evening of November 30th. Cocco is at work aboard his van when, in via Padova, he gets into an accident. A head-on with another car, in which a scooter is also involved. The collision is important, but the injuries are minor for him. Transported to the hospital, he is examined and treated, then comes out with the aforementioned seven-day prognosis. He, who recently turned 42, wants to spend that recovery at home but, as mentioned, something happens: on the afternoon of December 2, he suddenly collapses to the ground. Inside the house there are also the parents who notice the fact and immediately call 118. The health workers who rush in try in every way to snatch Massimiliano from death, but in vain. The illness is lethal and takes him away forever. Now the autopsy will have to establish whether this episode and the accident are somehow connected. According to what is learned, Cocco would have hit his head against the steering column in the crash: nothing else had emerged from the tests performed in the emergency room. And those who knew him say that he never had heart problems. To proceed with the investigations of the case - ordered by the public prosecutor, Ciro Alberto Savino - an investigation into road homicide has been formally opened: a duty, for which the other motorist involved will be investigated, who will try to give answers on the last days of the life of the 42-year-old.

A prisoner "died suddenly":
Incarcerated man dies of heart attack
December 19, 2022
Sulmona - He allegedly collapsed to the ground in his cell, after sitting down, due to an illness, then he never recovered. The intervention of the prison police officers who arrived to rescue the man was useless. On the death of a 62-year-old prisoner, Pietro Guccione, which took place last Friday in the Peligno penitentiary, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Sulmona has opened an investigation, assuming the crime of manslaughter. The file was opened at the request of the family who believes that the death could have been avoided given the symptoms that appeared in the previous days: pain in the shoulder and arm, dizziness and high blood pressure. All symptoms referable to a sudden cardiac event.

The sheer growing amount of these deaths is just utterly heartbreaking. But I think a lot of people here in Italy are starting to be aware of them. Whether they put 2 + 2 together is another thing. 😣
