Rome, 7 July 2022 – Everything is still on the high seas, enveloped in the Egyptian fog of an investigation which, in the height of the summer season, who knows when it will end, when it will be able to release a shred of truth. Because the death of Andrea ‘Andreuccio’ Mirabile6 years old, in one of the most elegant and renowned resorts of Shark’s Bay a Sharm el Sheik, Sultan Gardens, located on one of the main coral beaches and facing the beautiful island of Tiran, is full of questions that now raise doubts both on the causes of death and on the timeliness and professionalism of the rescue. Six days after the death of the little man from Palermo, it is not known what he caused fatal intoxicationa Botox is suspected, but the lips of the Egyptians are tightened and this is nothing new.
Il bambino is diedstill remains his father Antonio in intensive care, 46, with very low blood oxygen levels and kidney and liver problems. There wife, Rosaria Manosperti, 35, in the fourth month of pregnancy, is better, she could leave the international hospital where she was hospitalized, but she prefers to be close to her husband who is fighting for his life. But in the meantime, the couple should return to Palermo on Friday (8 July, ed) with a medical flight.
“The tragedy that struck us will forever mark the lives of our families. It is a wound that we will carry for a long time”, says Roberto, uncle of the child and brother of Rosaria. What is certain is that the toxin that caused the child’s death was contained in one of the foods administered in one of the restaurants in the Sultan Gardens: the Mirabilis have never eaten outside the resort, drinking bottled water and often choosing the internal Italian restaurant Casa my. “Eating is an integral part of every vacation. The Sultan is a firm believer in this concept and the importance of offering delicious food and inspired service,” reads the brochure.
A statement that sounds a little macabre today, even if the Mirabilis are the only ones intoxicated in the resort. Lighthouse on the speed and quality of aid. After the first abdominal pains, vomiting and diarrhea, the Palermo family asked for help at the reception who sorted it to the medical guard a few steps from the resort. Dry diagnosis of food poisoning and administration of a drip of physiological solution to Andrea and his father, who are severely dehydrated, and then pills also to Rosaria.
Back at the hotel, the couple called the family doctor in Palermo who confirmed that it was a drug against food poisoning. After half a day the situation got worse, Andrea and Antonio barely breathed. Andreuccio died a few hours after being hospitalized in his mother’s arms in shock, Antonio without knowledge was hospitalized in intensive care, attached to the oxygen cannula. Could we have done more ?, ask the relatives in Palermo. How professional was the medical team of the resort and the emergency medical service and why did they advise you to wait even when you could see with the naked eye – fever, chills, dehydration, tachycardia – that the baby’s condition was now very bad and he was about to go into a coma? None of the Egyptian doctors are currently unbalanced, a wall of rubber. The results of the autopsy and toxicological tests carried out on the baby’s corpse are awaited, but we will have to wait weeks, perhaps months.
