Tragedy in the waters of Lake Como, a 54-year-old diver from Cinisello dies during a dive

Marco Bordoni, a 54-year-old diver living in Cinisello Balsamo, died yesterday morning during a dive in Lake Como, in front of Moregallo beach in Mandello del Lario (Lecco). The diver's body was found in the waters of the Lecco branch shortly after all search protocols were activated. Rescue attempts were in vain, there was nothing left for the man to do. The fire brigade, the Carabinieri and a 112 emergency unit intervened on the spot. A helicopter from Varese was also alerted. The 54-year-old had dived in the morning in the mirror of the lake in front of the town of Moregallo. The alarm was raised around 13 by the friends with whom the man had dived. Less than a month ago another diver from the province of Como had lost his life in the same area.
