Tragedy in Italy. A 13-year-old Pole has died.

On Tuesday morning, a 13-year-old tourist from Poland drowned in Italy. Corriere Romagna reports that the boy was part of a group of Polish students on a trip to Rimini. The teenagers were in the water, but at one point the sea conditions worsened, so red flags were displayed. When everyone got out of the water, one of the teachers realized that one of the children was missing.

Lifeguards from bathing area no. 86 began a search for the teenager, which lasted about an hour. More than two hours after the Pole went missing, one of the tourists sunbathing at bathing area no. 92 noticed a back emerging from the waves. The man jumped into the water and pulled the 13-year-old to the shore, who was no longer breathing. It turned out that the person on vacation was a Polish lifeguard on vacation in Rimini.

The man immediately called for help and a local lifeguard arrived. Together they decided to resuscitate him, which lasted 45 minutes. A nurse who was also on holiday also arrived. Despite their efforts, the 13-year-old could not be revived. Most likely, the young tourist from Poland was already dead when he was pulled from the water. Everything indicates that the Pole was unable to reach the shore due to the current.

The exact details and circumstances of the incident are being determined. Among other things, it is being investigated whether the Polish student was properly supervised. The Italian prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into the accidental causing of death. This is necessary, among other things, to conduct an autopsy. The Polish teacher who was in the water with the teenager when the tragedy occurred has already been questioned. The second guardian is also expected to give his statement.
