He died in his sleep at the age of 9. The news shocked Carbonia from the early hours of the day: it passed from mouth to mouth, whispered, then ended up on social media, unleashing a wave of grief for a family destroyed by grief.

The drama this morning. The child's mother entered his room to wake him. But the child did not react. After a few moments she realized that he was not breathing. And the call for help was immediately sent.

The 118 rescuers rushed to that house in Carbonia and the Areus helicopter also took off. Resuscitation attempts lasted over two hours but unfortunately they proved useless: the child's heart did not start beating again.

There is no certainty about the causes of the tragedy: the little boy could have suffered a heart attack or a stroke, in his sleep. But tests may be necessary to give an answer to a tragedy that has struck the mining town.
