Rome, Sardinian child poisoned in swimming pool: serious

For now he is in a pharmacological coma: this is what the doctors told the family. A nine-year-old boy, originally from a village in Planargia, has been hospitalized at the Umberto I polyclinic in Rome since yesterday. He was apparently intoxicated by chlorine in a swimming pool, in the Borghesiana area, on via della Capanna Murata, while playing with his brothers.

The alarm was raised in the late morning, when the water was turning yellow. A few minutes later, everyone present began to feel unwell. The children, who were with their mother at the time, were rescued and rushed to the hospital. They are all currently hospitalized, the most serious being the nine-year-old, the second-born.

The father, a soldier, also arrived immediately on the scene. He had just finished parading on the first army vehicle on the occasion of the June 2nd celebration in Rome.
