by time news

The arrival from Montecarlo for a holiday around Europe, accommodation in the room and then dinner on the square of Portofino. Then the return to the hotel and the tragedy: Joshua Bronson, American tourist of 43 anni, died after falling from the hotel terrace. Bronson had come to the Small Hotel, hotel located on the panoramic road leading from the bay of Paraggi in Portofino, together with his wife of the same age in the late afternoon. After arranging their luggage in the room they went to have dinner in one of the restaurants in the village.

Back at the hotel they asked for a bottle of red and went to one of the common terraces of the structure to admire the view. At some point, however, the wind did close the door window leaving husband and wife outdoors. When the two decided to go back to the room they found that the door could not be opened from the outside. They tried to call the hall from the mobile but for a technical issue the line had been interrupted. And so Bronson bypassed the parapet to try to go down to the entrance.

The height of about 3 meters did not seem insurmountable. But a bad foot or, in all likelihood, one tile who has yielded has made him lose your balance and made him fall backwards making him bang your head to the ground violently. The wife witnessed the scene and, seeing that her husband was left helpless on the ground, she started screaming for help, drawing the attention of the staff.

The doctors of the 118 but for the man there was nothing to be done. THE carabinieri they questioned all the witnesses and those present to reconstruct what happened. To get to the ground the tourist could have used a ladder that was on the terrace, leaning against the wall of the building. But neither he nor his wife, probably from the darkness, saw it. To reveal the particular toAnsa And Roberto Tiraboschi, hotel manager: “I don’t understand why he didn’t use it. It was enough to take it, place it on the balcony and go down. We always keep the ladder at that point because we use it to go up to check the air conditioners ”. The prosecutor on duty Gabriella Marino opened a dossier for related documents and will evaluate in the next few hours whether to arrange the autopsy.
