Unfortunately, his body was found near a small river in the Santa Caterina area Gianni Gallo, the 73 year old pensioner from Fagnano who got lost yesterday 27th December.
Around 10.30 the sad news of the discovery of the body. The man may have died from the cold he suffered during the night. In addition to a spontaneous group of volunteers, the Carabinieri, men from the Financial Police, and the Fire Brigade with molecular dogs participated in the searches, which were suspended due to darkness on Friday afternoon.
It is not yet known who found him first, it is certain that the body was approximately six to seven hundred meters from where his car, an old type Fiat 600 (white in colour), was found, found in Fornaci, between Joggi and Pianette of Santa Caterina Albanese.
The police immediately informed the magistrate on duty at the Cosenza Public Prosecutor’s Office responsible for the area. it is very likely that in addition to the necropsy inspection there may be an autopsy to establish the certain causes of death.
Unfortunately, bad luck remains for the man, whose searches – from the moment of his departure until darkness arrived – were suspended and then resumed when perhaps it was too late. A sequence of events that made things damn complicated. There is despair in the Fagnano community due to the mourning that has struck the family to whom the citizens have embraced with a unanimous embrace as happens in these cases.
