"There's a body off Santa Teresa ." The Coast Guard patrol boats left to go and verify the veracity of a report that arrived at the operations center around noon. The Captaincy was alerted by a call from the Santa Teresa-Bonifacio ferry: a body with a life jacket on would have been sighted.

The indicated point, not too far from the coast, has not yet been reached.

This could be a false alarm. But the hypothesis - which at the moment is not confirmed - is that it could be the body of Davide Calvia, 38, who has been missing since last Wednesday after going out by boat from Stintino for a spear fishing trip with his cousin Giovannino Pinna.

The vessel had begun to take on water off the coast of Ezzi Mannu and the two had thrown themselves into the sea with wetsuits and life preservers, after launching a desperate SOS.

When hopes began to fade, 24 hours later Pinna was found, exhausted, on the shore of Platamona beach : he was saved. The search for Calvia continued.
