Investigations are underway into the tragic shipwreck which claimed the life of an elderly Belarusian, whose body was recovered by the Fire Brigade on Sunday morning on the islet of Corcelli, in the La Maddalena Archipelago.
The Tempio Prosecutor's Office has ordered an in-depth investigation into the tragedy, activities (including a now almost certain autopsy) have begun to clarify the sequence of events that led to the man's death.
The victim had arrived from Porto Torres to La Maddalena with his sailing boat (a vessel of approximately 10 metres) and probably on Saturday night the Belarusian pensioner was surprised by the sharp worsening of the weather and sea conditions. It is not excluded that the man was sleeping when his boat ended up against the Corcelli cliff. The Prosecutor's Office has acquired the recording of the phone call in which the man desperately asks the Coast Guard for help. A phone call after which the castaway's cell phone remained silent.
