A 10-year-old boy died this morning at school, during recess, in front of his classmates, in the Naples area.

A tragedy has shaken the children and teachers of the “Borsellino” elementary school in via Crocillo, in Quarto Flegreo.

During recess, the child collapsed to the ground and never regained consciousness. The school staff immediately alerted 118, but the doctors' desperate attempts to revive the child were in vain, and he died in the school courtyard.

The Carabinieri of the Quarto branch also intervened on site for the surveys. Given the young age of the victim and the sudden death, which came like a bolt from the blue, an investigation will be opened to identify the causes.

The Prosecutor's Office has ordered an autopsy: a first examination has ruled out asphyxia.
