(ANSA) – L’AQUILA, 12 AUGUST – Three of them were walking along a path that leads to Pizzo Cefalone, a peak at 2,533 metres above sea level in the Gran Sasso massif, when one of them slipped and, after desperately trying to find a handhold, fell. This seems to be the reconstruction of what happened today on the Abruzzo mountain; initially it was thought to be an accident on the wall. The injuries sustained in the fall left no escape for the hiker, a 56-year-old from Pescara. The anesthetist and resuscitator on board the regional helicopter rescue service, assisted in ground operations by the Helicopter Rescue Technician of the Abruzzo Alpine and Speleological Rescue Service (CNSAS), once he arrived on site could do nothing but confirm the death of the man, whose body was recovered in the afternoon. The 56-year-old’s friends were recovered and taken back to Campo Imperatore; They did not report any injuries, but are in shock. The Public Prosecutor’s Office of L’Aquila, with territorial jurisdiction, has ordered a cadaveric examination; a decision is awaited on whether or not to perform an autopsy. (ANSA).
