This one was mentioned in the other Italian story this week where it said it happened August 7, but the google translation may have been mistaken.

What killed the 54-year-old diver who went on Saturday with a diving center in Castiglione della Pescaia to dive in the Formiche islands? This question will be answered by the coroner in charge of carrying out the autopsy on the body of Roman Pavlic, the 54-year-old man from Prague on holiday in Maremma with his wife and little son. The autopsy exam will take place tomorrow at the Misericordia morgue, after which the diver's body can return to the Czech Republic.
The terrible accident happened on Saturday afternoon, during the second dive: the 54-year-old had decided to go down to a depth of 10 meters at the Big Formica and, despite having arrived there with a diving, he had chosen to do it alone. Since that dive, he has never come up again: the divers who were on the diving boat went down again to look for him, without finding any trace of the man. The current had pushed his body off the Ants, making the body of the Czech tourist travel about ten miles. It was the men of the coast guard who found him on Sunday around 11: they saw that body, with all the equipment still on, floating in the channel between the island of Giglio and Giannutri. The current had pushed him there.— En.G. - FG
