Tragedy this morning, Thursday 16 May, on the island of Procida: a 23-year-old boy – whose details have not yet been disclosed – died after falling from the balcony of his home, on the third floor of a building in via San Rocco. Promptly rescued by the 118 health workers, the young man was transported to the mainland, to the Santa Maria delle Grazie hospital in Pozzuoli, where unfortunately he died shortly after his arrival: the injuries sustained in the fall were too serious.
An autopsy has been ordered on the 23-year-old’s body
The Carabinieri from the Procida station intervened at the site of the tragedy and carried out all the necessary findings to determine the exact dynamics of the event: from an initial reconstruction carried out by the military personnel, the hypothesis of suicide was excluded; the 23-year-old would have leaned excessively onto the balcony, falling down. In any case, the body was transferred to the Policlinico Federico II hospital in Naples, where the autopsy will be carried out in the next few days.
