Terrible epilogue to the search for the man who disappeared while picking mushrooms in the woods around Neirone
A seeker of mushrooms he lost his life by falling off a cliff: a tragic epilogue which, unfortunately, recalls all too closely what happened just seven days earlier in the same area.
The alarm went off this morning, shortly after 9am. The intervention of the rescuers was immediate: Tango 1 medical vehicle, Torriglia Red Cross ambulance, firefighters, Alpine Rescue and carabinieri quickly arrived on site. To try to reach the man, the intervention of the Drago helicopter was also necessary, which flew over the impervious area of the woods. When rescuers managed to locate the man, apparently younger than 50 yearsthey immediately began resuscitation maneuvers. Unfortunately, despite repeated attempts, the injuries sustained in the fall proved fatal. After a flight of about three meters into a cliff, the injuries sustained left the mushroom hunter no escape.
The authorities informed the magistrate on duty. We are in the process of notifying the victim’s family, whose identity has not yet been made public. The local community is shaken by this new tragedy, which once again turns the spotlight on the dangers associated with searching for mushrooms in the woods.
The practice of mushroom picking it is loved by many for the direct contact with nature and for the possibility of collecting precious gastronomic treasures. However, it hides quite a few pitfalls. The steep and often humid terrain, the dense vegetation and the presence of cliffs and natural obstacles make this activity potentially very dangerous. Especially for those who venture into little-known or difficult-to-access areas.
Experts remind us that it is essential to approach the search for mushrooms with extreme caution, adopting some fundamental safety measures. Always inform someone of your itinerary, avoid going alone, wear appropriate shoes and carry a mobile phone for emergencies. Despite the precautions, however, the risk of accidents remains high, especially in areas such as Neirone, characterized by impervious and isolated terrain.
