Fatal accident for a 46-year-old South Tyrolean farmer, Gerhard Oberkofler.

The man was found dead in the irrigation well located a short distance from the farm where he lived with his wife and 4 children in Meltina, a small town between the Sarentino and Passiria valleys.

He probably wanted to check the sprinkler system and accidentally fell over, drowning. It was his relatives who found him and called the 112 health workers, who could not help but ascertain his death.

The firefighters of Meltina, the Pelikan 1 helicopter and the carabinieri also intervened on the spot.
