Investigations are underway in Cetraro, in the Cosenza area, where a 60-year-old man lost his life following an attack by a wild boar.
The accident occurred on land owned by the victim, a school worker at the local comprehensive institute. The magistrate on duty at the Paola Public Prosecutor's Office ordered the seizure of the body, on which an autopsy will be performed shortly.
According to initial reports, the man had captured the animal with a homemade trap and, believing it to be harmless, approached to examine it. Unfortunately, the animal reacted aggressively, causing the man's death.
The investigations are currently entrusted to the Carabinieri of the Paola Company, under the leadership of Captain Marco Pedullà, who are trying to outline the dynamics of the accident more precisely.
