Vieste medical reports clarify fatal beach incident involving 78-year-old woman

Official medical reports from the Vieste Point of First Intervention and the Policlinico Riuniti of Foggia have clarified the circumstances surrounding a recent incident on a beach in Vieste, Gargano.

A 78-year-old woman reportedly collapsed while entering the sea. Although two nurses on the beach immediately initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the 118 ambulance service arrived with medical personnel, the woman was pronounced dead at 17:50 following resuscitation attempts.
