New cross on the beaches of Sulcis, which today mourns Mattia Mura, the 23-year-old university student who died yesterday on the beach of Porto Pino following an illness while swimming.

The alarm was raised around 1.30pm when someone was seen showing some signs of difficulty while swimming and then ending up under water. The intervention of the lifeguard with the service skate, present a short distance away, was immediate: he transported the boy who apparently was already in desperate conditions to the shore and tried to carry out the first resuscitation operations . He was also helped by a doctor present on the beach and in the meantime the Avos ambulance of Sant'Anna Arresi was sent to the scene from the 118 operations centre.

The rescue was useless. The young man is the third victim in the space of a week, after the tragedy on the beach of San Nicolò in Buggerru and that on the beach of Plagemesu in Gonnesa.

Further details and insights in the article by Fabio Murru in the newspaper on newsstands and on the L'Unione digital App.
