The bathing attendant caught up with him, too late
There was nothing they could do for the 47-year-old man who died on the beach in front of the incredulous eyes of the 10 year old son. Paolo Florio loses his life at sea in Torvaianica, a fraction, a well-known seaside resort, of the Municipality of Pomezia, in Lazio. A bathing attendant soon joined the man, who was having difficulty returning to shore due to the current. But it was too late for him.
Paolo Florio was 47 years old and lost his life while taking a bath. On Monday 3 July 2023 the man was in Campo Ascolano, on the seafront at via Brema. He was in the water with his 10-year-old son when he started having difficulties due to the strong current of the sea.
The 47-year-old, who lived in Gallican, in Lazio, was spending a day at the beach with his family. What was supposed to be a happy and light-hearted day turned into a mourning that was too great for the family to face and, in particular, for the 10-year-old son.
There family was on the free beach. Father and son were taking a bath. The mother, who had remained on the shore, immediately realized that the couple was in trouble, due to the current that was dragging them away.
A bathing assistant promptly intervened to help them, quickly reaching father and son. The 10-year-old clung to his back. The assistant then also recovered the father, who had ended up under the water, bringing them both back to shore.

The colleague of the bathing assistant had already called 112, with a request for urgent intervention, and the Coast Guard. They tried resuscitating the 47-year-old man with a cardiovascular massage and also using the defibrillator.
Unfortunately, however, there was nothing for the man to do. Even the health personnel of the GB Grassi di Ostia who arrived on the spot tried to help the man, but without success. He may have had an illness in the water.
