The reconstruction of the road accident in which 17-year-old Edoardo Clementi lost his life
According to the first reconstructions carried out by the agents of the local police of the VIII Tintoretto Group having arrived at the site of the tragedy to carry out the ritual investigations, it would appear that the 17 year old was in the company of a friend, both on board a stolen scooter.
At the sight of a carabinieri patrol, the young people attempted to flee. The 17-year-old’s accomplice would have managed to escape on foot, while Edoardo would have launched a desperate escape, still on board the scooter.
Pursued by the police, the young man apparently lost control of the vehicle and violently crashed into a wall of the fire brigade divers’ barracks. Despite the timely intervention of the 118 emergency services and their desperate attempts to resuscitate him, there was nothing that could be done for Edoardo. The strong impact, combined with the fact that the victim was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, left him with no escape: the young man practically died instantly.
Investigations underway
The investigations into the death of Edoardo Clementi, currently still underway, are coordinated by the prosecutor Antonino Di Maio. The magistrate did not deem it necessary to proceed with the autopsy examination and ordered the return of the boy’s body to his family for the funeral to be held.
The vehicle, stolen last September 29, was seized.
Who was Edoardo Clementi
Edoardo, a student who had never had problems with the law, was very active on social media, often sharing videos, including on TikTok.
