A man aged around 65 from Amantea tragically drowned today before the eyes of friends and family. Although the sea was rough, Pirillo and his friends had decided to swim, but when it came time to return to shore he had difficulty. Emergency services were called immediately. His brother-in-law and son-in-law attempted to save him, diving to his aid, while two Civil Protection volunteers intervened with a boat. Reached and brought to shore, Pirillo received a resuscitation attempt by a volunteer, followed by healthcare personnel. There was nothing that could be done.
