Tragedy this morning on the Cala Regina road where a cyclist fell to the ground and died of a heart attack .

The victim is Andrea Sechi, a 48-year-old man from Uta: an engineer, the man leaves behind his wife and two children .

The group of cyclists, which also included a brother of Sechi, had left an hour earlier from Decimomannu and was directed by Villasimius. He was riding along the scenic Cala Regina, a road of ups and downs when Andrea Sechi lost control of his bike on the downhill slope: first he skidded to the right and left, then he ended up on the ground .

Moments of desperation on the part of his companions, who tried to help him and raised the alarm : an ambulance and helicopter rescue were on the spot, but it was already too late. The ASL doctor was only able to ascertain the 48-year-old's death, confirming a heart attack as the cause.

A tragedy that could also be linked to this morning's heat . On the spot, in addition to the rescuers, also the carabinieri of the Quartu mobile radio unit.
