He fell ill on board a ship leaving Tunis, en route to Genoa. A 40-year-old Tunisian woman , pregnant and very close to her due date, was rescued in the early hours of the morning by the Arbatax patrol boat Cp 835, sent by the Coast Guard command of Cagliari, which had received the alarm.

The Capitaneria boat, with doctors from the 118 of Lanusei on board, reached the Splendid ship about 30 miles east of Capo Bellavista around 6 am.

The patient was stabilized and transferred to the port of Arbatax, for subsequent hospitalization at Nostra Signora della Mercede.
