Naples - Yet another workplace death in Naples. Antonio Maione, 55, the man found with a serious head wound inside a gym undergoing renovation at Via del Mille 16, died late this afternoon.
The news of his death, which arrived in the evening, confirmed the tragic outcome of a case into which the Prosecutor's Office immediately opened a file.
Officers from the San Ferdinando Police Station responded immediately to the scene and began initial investigations to attempt to reconstruct the exact circumstances of the accident . Currently, all investigative leads remain open, but the hypothesis of an industrial accident is gaining ground and appears the most likely.
The police are in fact focusing their investigations on ascertaining Antonio Maione's precise employment status within the construction site and the compliance of the safety measures in place.
To allow for the necessary investigations, the judicial authorities ordered the immediate seizure of the body for an autopsy, as well as the entire area where the body was found.
Investigators continue to interview witnesses and other persons with knowledge of the incident in the hope of gathering useful evidence. The head wound, which appears to be the cause of death, will be subjected to forensic analysis. The results of the initial forensic examinations are awaited to provide a definitive answer regarding the 55-year-old's death and determine the exact culprit.
The man was admitted first to the San Paolo Hospital in Fuorigrotta and then to San Giovanni Bosco due to the severity of his condition. But despite doctors' efforts to save him from death, his heart stopped beating late this afternoon.
It's truly sad that another person has died at work in Naples. Workplace safety should be the priority, but accidents like this seem to happen all the time. We hope the situation is clarified.
