Editorial board

A child died in Livorno, after a sudden malaise: he was only two and a half years old. Tragedy struck the city during the night of August 16-17. It was her mother, on vacation with her son from South America, who called the emergency number 112 around 5 in the morning, realizing the seriousness of the situation. However, despite rescue efforts, the child died before arriving at the hospital. The causes are being investigated.

the arrival of help

The woman immediately took to the road to speed up theambulance arrival of the emergency service, which arrived in the city center a few minutes later. However, when the service volunteers and the 118 doctor entered the house, the child’s conditions were already clearly critical. Although the doctor carried out resuscitation maneuvers during transport to the hospital, unfortunately it was not possible to save him. At that point the doctors could not help but ascertain the death of the child.

the fall from the slide

While awaiting the results of the autopsy requested by the public prosecutor Giuseppe Rizzo, the mobile squad of Livorno, by order of the prosecutor’s office, is currently investigating the incident that occurred last night to determine exactly the dynamics of the facts and reconstruct the last hours of the child’s life. We will try to determine if it was a sudden illness or whether the death was caused by other factors, such as the aftermath of a accidental fall seemingly harmless that occurred previously. Indeed, it emerged that the boy had fallen down a slide during a game in the afternoon, but at the time appeared to have sustained no significant injuries. The analyses on the body will help to understand whether or not this incident influenced the death of the child.
