A dive that turned tragic. A 57-year-old man from Naples died this morning in the sea near Capaccio-Paestum, in the province of Salerno, before the astonished eyes of swimmers near the Mare Pineta Camping site.
It was 10.30:XNUMX a.m. when some witnesses alerted the Port Authority: a man had just jumped into the water and never resurfaced. The immediate intervention of the rescuers was in vain. The firefighters from the Agropoli detachment arrived on the scene, supported by a helicopter that took off from the operational unit of PontecagnanoThe Red Helmets searched the area and managed to recover the body, now lifeless.
The cause of death is still unclear: a sudden illness or poor sea conditions are suspected. According to initial findings, the victim was in the area for a few days of relaxation. Carabinieri and emergency medical services also responded to the scene, but were unable to do anything other than confirm the deceased.
