Family Mourns 7-Year-Old Who Drowned in Unguarded Pool Drain at Italian Retreat
A seven-year-old boy drowned when he became trapped in a swimming pool’s suction pipe at a wellness retreat near Castelforte, Italy. His parents had taken him and friends to celebrate his birthday two days earlier. The child’s father spotted his son’s body curled inside the uncovered drain. Rescue attempts by several people failed until the pump was turned off and the boy was freed, but he could not be revived. Prosecutors in Cassino are investigating retreat managers, maintenance staff and the worker responsible for the missing safety grate. Early findings point to negligence and an outdated safety system as the likely cause of the tragedy.
