Overview
- A group of at least four young people climbed the perimeter fence of the Romano public pool in Milan and went in for a swim during the night, when the facility was closed.
- After diving in, the 28-year-old did not resurface and friends raised the alarm to emergency services.
- Rescuers from the 118 attempted on-site resuscitation and the man was taken urgently to the Policlinico, where doctors pronounced him dead.
- Local outlets identify the victim as Alfredo A. E., a 28-year-old of Peruvian origin, and investigators on site are interviewing the friends to reconstruct the sequence of events.
- Authorities say the cause of death remains unconfirmed and could be drowning or an acute medical event in the water, and the incident raises questions about trespass and after-hours safety at public pools.
