Skipper dies on yacht in Portisco, lethal gas leaking from a hole in the bed where he slept

Giovanni Marchionni 's family's lawyers had immediately requested this, contacting the Tempio Pausania prosecutor's office, requesting an inspection of the technical characteristics of the Gravia yacht , where the young skipper from Campania was found dead on August 8th of last year. And now the first results of the investigations carried out in Portisco, where the vessel is still located (under seizure), are in.

Meanwhile, the presence of "concentrations of hydrogen sulfide dangerous to humans" released from an auxiliary battery, identified and seized by State Police personnel and the Spresal of the Olbia Local Health Authority, has been confirmed. But the new data is different: consultants for prosecutor Milena Aucone have explained how and why the lethal gas reached the cabin where the 21-year-old boy was sleeping .

The consultants write that the "lack of ventilation in the battery compartments prevented the gas from dispersing to the outside and the hydrogen sulphide confined in the bilges, denser than air" spread "and then invaded the internal areas as the bilge hatches are not gas-tight" .

Prosecutor Milena Aucone's experts have identified and described a hole with a hatch located under the pillow of the bed inside the boy's cabin, from which the lethal gas would have escaped, killing Giovanni Marchionni in his sleep. This reconstruction is being verified and examined by the Tempio Prosecutor's Office.

The Marchionni family's lawyer, Maurizio Capozzo, stated: "This evidence on the vessel fully aligns with the results of the autopsy and chemical tests on the boy's body." The Marchionnis' other lawyer, Gabriele Satta, had requested a thorough investigation into the dimensions and characteristics of the cabin where the young victim slept. Annalaura Di Luggo, the yacht's owner, is under investigation and is being represented by Giampaolo Murrighile .
