(ANSA) – NUORO, JUL 18 – The autopsy will try to clarify the causes of death of the 6-year-old Roman child, who drowned on Saturday afternoon in the swimming pool of the Cala Luas resort in Cardedu, in Ogliastra where he spent the holidays with his parents and to little sister. The autopsy examination, which will be performed by the anatomopathologist Roberto Demontis, will be held at 3 pm in the Nostra Signora della Mercede hospital in Lanusei. The Prosecutor of Lanusei Giovanna Morra, owner of the investigation, has opened a file for manslaughter against unknown persons. An act due to allow the investigations of the Carabinieri of the Jerzu Company, who have acquired all the testimonies and carried out the surveys in the place of the tragedy, which took place in an afternoon of sunshine, relaxation and lightheartedness under the eyes of parents and little sister of the little one.

According to an initial reconstruction of the facts, a guest of the resort at about 6.15 pm on Saturday afternoon, he would have noticed that the child was floating on the surface of the water still. He wore a mask and snorkel with his face on the water and perhaps for this reason the gravity of the situation would not have been immediately noticed from outside the pool, a small and child-friendly pool: the height of the water in some places reached one meter and a half. half, in others it was only half a meter deep.

Immediate intervention by the lifeguards of the structure and the arrival of an Areus helicopter that took off from Olbia with the 118 doctors who tried for over an hour to revive the baby, unfortunately there was nothing to do. The most likely hypothesis is that the child has had an illness and has not had the strength to ask for help. The tragedy has thrown into despair the parents and the little sister of the child but also all the people present in the resort. After the autopsy, the body will be returned to the parents who will return to the capital for the funeral. (HANDLE).
