Fatal accident this morning in Sottomarina (Chioggia). At around 7 a.m., a man was hit by a palm tree that had fallen inside the Stella Maris bathhouse. The impact was such that it killed him instantly. The victim was named Gianluca Fasolin, 52 years old. The Suem 118 health workers, who also intervened by helicopter from the Treviso hospital, could not help but ascertain his death. On the spot, the State Police had the task of carrying out the first checks.
The works were planned to open the equipped stretch of beach. The palm had been damaged on Saturday evening by the strong Bora wind. Fasolin, owner of the Stella Maris bathhouse, was arranging the tree with one of his employees, but was killed by the impact of the palm tree.
Rescue arrived immediately on the spot, but there was nothing to be done. Even the head of the Chioggia emergency room, who was in the area, tried to save him, but to no avail: the traumas reported were too serious. It is yet another death at work and now the police officers are wandering, who will send a report to the prosecutor, to understand the dynamics and causes of the tragic accident.
