The death of Denise Galatà
She had gone to the Lao River, with her classmates and teachers, during the school trip.
The students got ready, put on helmets and got on the rafts. The river seemed calm, but shortly thereafter the water began to stir. Denise Galatà’s dinghy has hit a rock and three students ended up in the water. Two were immediately brought to safety, but the current dragged the 18-year-old away, making her lose track.
Hours later, firefighters found his body now lifeless. The autopsy confirmed who the young woman is died by drowning.
The authorities have enrolled 10 people on the register of suspects, with the aim of verifying whether all the rules have been respected and that there has been no negligence. These are the Mayor of Laino Borgo, the guides and two representatives of the company that organizes excursions on the Lao river.
