Drama of loneliness in Orosei , where 76-year-old Cosimo Mula was found lifeless in his home by the Carabinieri . The man, who lived in via Giacomo Di Vittorio, had been dead for days .
The military intervened following a report received at the barracks : they were alerted by the neighbors who, not having seen the pensioner for days and alarmed by the bad smell coming from the house, decided to raise the alarm.
The Secretary General of the Federazione Sicurezza & Difesa, Antonio de Lieto, also intervened on the matter, and with regard to these «solitary deaths» he relaunched the idea of « creating a “Map of Need” in all municipalities , capable of identifying all those situations at “risk”, just as a sort of preventive action against the extreme effects of loneliness».
« Strengthening the network of social workers with dedicated sectors, in particular, to contact, even by telephone, almost daily, the subjects included in a possible program inserted in the context of the "map", would help to avoid many tragedies », continues de Lieto.
