He was with his boat in front of the island of shells
He had decided to spend the day at the beach with his daughter. And, together, on board their boat they had reached the Isle of Shells. But after Enrico Faggiani, 57 years old from Precenicco, dived into the sea, on Saturday afternoon, he felt ill. The first to try to rescue him was his daughter together with some other bathers. She heard her dad ask for help, she immediately approached him with the boat to try to bring him back on board.
A patrol boat from the Guardia di Finanza came to the rescue and transported the man to the Porto Vecchio dock of the seaside resort. Here came the 118 health workers who tried for a long time to resuscitate the man.
All attempts were in vain: unfortunately it was not possible to do anything but ascertain his death. The Port Authority of Lignano was also informed of the fact. Faggiani worked at Costruzioni Cicuttin in Latisana, a company that operates in the field of public works, and «this year – recalls his brother Gianni – he would retire. He was a hard worker, he always had been. He drove excavators and it was a job he did with enthusiasm. My daughter called to tell me what had happened. Everything happened in a few moments, they went together to spend a few hours at the sea and then Enrico fell ill in the water. There had been no warning the days before that he was sick. ‘
The news of the death of Enrico, a great lover of hunting and fishing, aroused vast condolences in Precenicco, a town where the whole family is well known.
