The extreme heat is holding all of Italy in check and continues to claim victims. A 57-year-old man, resident in Olbia, died this afternoon on the beach of Pittulonguin northern Sardinia. The tragedy occurred while the man was spending a day at the beach alone. Temperatures in the area exceeded 35 degrees, probably contributing to the illness that was fatal.
The 57-year-old was lying on a bed when, presumably due to the intense heatsuffered a sudden illness. The people under the umbrella noticed the critical situation and promptly alerted the lifeguards and the staff of the beach establishment, who called 118. Despite the use of the defibrillator present on the beach and the timely intervention of the rescuers and the helicopter rescue, there was nothing that could be done for the man. The Carabinieri and the Coast Guard also arrived on site to ascertain what had happened.
