A day of hiking on the enchanting island of Ischia turned tragic for a 69-year-old man, who died while walking along the roads of Serrara Fontana. Rescue services were promptly activated after a report reached the GeoResQ Operations Center in Cassano Irpino (Av). The report indicated an unconscious man on a path near the Church of San Nicola.

The alarm was raised by a young woman who, also participating in the excursion, witnessed the man's illness and promptly requested the intervention of the CNSAS via the GeoResQ app.

The authorities acted quickly and in coordination: the CNSAS switchboard operator alerted the CNSAS Shift Manager, who sent the Ischia territorial team to the scene, and at the same time alerted the 118 - Pozzuoli Operations Centre, which sent a local ambulance and the Fire Brigade.

The 118 Naples air rescue service was activated and, once at the accident site, disembarked the CNSAS air rescuer and the medical team via winch. Despite resuscitation efforts, unfortunately, nothing could be done for the man. The medical and rescue personnel then awaited the arrival of the Carabinieri before proceeding with the removal of the body. The 118 Naples air rescue service then returned to base, while the Alpine Speleological Rescue and the Fire Brigade, working together, packed the body and transported it up the mountain to be entrusted to the funeral home.
