Ventimiglia, 32 year old migrant found dead in a tent in the camp under the overpass

The body of a young 32-year-old migrant was found lifeless late yesterday morning in the tent city under the Via Tenda overpass. In the opinion of the medical examiner, who intervened on site, the man died of natural causes. The Ventimiglia carabinieri intervened to identify him. According to what has been ascertained, he is a Senegalese man, illegal in Italy and seeking asylum in France. The news has caused pain and dismay among the migrants who still live camped along the riverbed, waiting to find a passage to France. For years, after the closure of the reception center in the Roja park, people in transit have been living in the open, camped in makeshift places, including the tent city in via Tenda, in the Gianchette district, which has unfortunately become a symbol of the migratory phenomenon. Small groups of migrants have gathered next to the tent, who like the dead man have been living for some time among the vegetation, among piles of waste, with mice and pigeons. And who, saddened, helped the investigators to give at least a name and a country of origin to the missing young man.
