Tragedy at sea in Sorrento peninsula. A diver died yesterday afternoon after having made a dive in the Banco di Santa Croce, in the waters of the coast of Vico Equense.
LS, a 63-year-old tourist residing in Germany but originally from Piedmont, arrived at the port of Castellammare di Stabia in critical conditions and for over half an hour was subjected to attempts at resuscitation before the doctors noticed the death.
The men of the Gurdia Costiera of Castellammare di Stabia, coordinated by the commander Guglielmo Cassone, received yesterday the report of the imminent arrival of a boat, with a diver on board at the end of life following the dive in the Banco di Santa Croce. The operating room of the Port Authority of Castellammare di Stabia has alerted the doctors of 118, but the 63enne was struggling to breathe and his condition was so critical as to make any attempt to revive him.
For now, the hypothesis that the man has been the victim of an illness can not be excluded, but in the meantime the investigations, carried out by the soldiers of the Coast Guard of Castellammare, are already underway with the seizure of the support boat, of the cylinders, the manometer and the remaining equipment available to man. Meanwhile, the public prosecutor of the Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor ordered the autopsy on the corpse, transported to the mortuary of the cemetery of Castellammare di Stabia, to clarify the dynamics of death and ascertain their possible responsibilities.
