The funeral of Marcello Asuni, the diver who died yesterday morning in the sea of Piscinas, will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 pm in the parish church of Santa Barbara in Sinnai.
After the Mass, the body will be buried in the old cemetery in Via Roma. Today, throughout the day, there were many friends and family who went to the new cemetery of "Baccu Narboni" to pay homage to the body: a composed, silent pilgrimage, full of pain and sadness, to also give a word of comfort to the diver's family.
For Marcello Asuni, 62 years old, historic man of the Sinnai sub, former player of the 7 fradis rugby Sinnai, the sea was his second home . As a great expert as he was, he tried to cling to life by lying on the rock where his body was found yesterday . The doubt is that he was betrayed by an illness.
Coroner Roberto Demontis, a friend of the diver, said this. «He was not betrayed by syncope because then he would have died in the water nor by an embolism for the same reason: it is therefore probable that he was actually betrayed by a heart problem. Marcello was a friend. A tragedy for everyone."
«On Sunday - says the president of Sub Sinnai Paride Cardia - we lost a sportsman, but above all a friend, a champion, a brother. We all cling to his loved ones."
