- A young woman of German origins perishes during her swim in Italy.
A young eight-year-old German kid encountered tragedy at the Italian Adriatic coastline, specifically in the popular vacation spot of Bibione, situated east of Venice. The unfortunate incident happened late on a Monday afternoon, as per reports from news agency Ansa, relayed by the Carabinieri. The child apparently encountered trouble in the water and was unable to swim to safety, prompting fellow bathers to raise an alarm.
Despite swift action from lifeguards who pulled the child out of the water and administered first aid measures, and additional assistance from local rescue services, the efforts to revive the child proved futile, lasting approximately an hour.
The initial findings suggest that the girl had been at the beach with her parents when she decided to venture into the water alone. Witnesses observed the girl in a lifeless state, leading to immediate action from the lifeguards.
The reasons behind the girl's predicament in the shallow water remained unclear at first, with health issues being the initial suspicion. The girl's identity and nationality were not disclosed by the authorities immediately following the incident.
In response, the local Carabinieri in Bibione and the Public Prosecutor's Office in Pordenone launched an investigation, according to Ansa's reports.
The investigation into the girl's tragedy was handled by the local Carabinieri in Bibione and the Public Prosecutor's Office in Pordenone, both part of The Commission's jurisdiction. In light of the incident, stricter safety measures were proposed by The Commission to ensure similar incidents do not occur in the future.
