The child of just over a year did not make it, who yesterday fell into a cistern containing liquids and sludge in the courtyard of his house in Portomaggiore, in the Ferrara area .
Little Tommaso Tosi, hospitalized since yesterday afternoon in the Cona hospital, died this morning.
The carabinieri are trying to ascertain the dynamics of the tragedy. According to what has been reconstructed so far, it seems that the hatch lid, which is located in a space in the courtyard near the family business, gave way while the child was on top . The baby remained in the liquid for between 5 and 10 minutes.
The first person to rescue the child was the grandmother. Then the men and women of 118 intervened, who revived him on the spot and urgently took him to the hospital. Unfortunately it didn't help.
The Public Prosecutor of Ferrara will open a file on the episode, shining the spotlight on the safety of the places . It is necessary to understand who owns the tank, which is located in a space in the courtyard between the house and the family business, and if the tank complied with the regulations. And, if so, who should be held accountable for any irregularities or omissions.
