In Palazzolo Acreide, in the Syracuse area, in circumstances yet to be verified, one woman and a child fell into a well. The firefighters intervened, working on the spot. The woman is safe while the child between 8 and 10 years old was recovered lifeless.
The child had participated in the summer camp of the Anffas cooperative which takes care of children with disabilities. It is not excluded that the child drowned. The autopsy will determine this. According to an initial reconstruction, being examined by the police and magistrates, the little boy was alone; it is assumed that he took a walk until he came across that 15-meter-deep well. and half covered in water, where he fell. His screams probably attracted the attention of the summer camp officials and so a 54-year-old cooperative worker went to the rescue. With the use of a rope, the woman tried to go down to retrieve the child, but she too ended up inside. She gave him first aid, also trying to reassure him. In a few minutes, numerous calls arrived at the switchboards of the provincial fire brigade command, 118 and the police and carabinieri. Shortly afterwards, the brigade divers went down to collect the victims, unfortunately there was nothing left to do for the child
