Tuscany

A shocking tragedy occurred on the outskirts of Florence, in San Felice a Ema, where a family was found lifeless inside a two-family house. A man, his 10-year-old son and the man's partner lost their lives, while a little girl is hospitalized in very serious conditions at the Meyer Pediatric Hospital.

The discovery

The alarm was raised around 14:118 PM by a neighbor who was suspicious of the situation. The firefighters and XNUMX paramedics immediately arrived on site and attempted to revive the victims by entering the home. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, it was not possible to save the lives of the man, the woman, and the child. The little girl, however, was rescued and urgently transferred to Meyer, where she remains in a reserved prognosis.

The victims

The victims are reportedly a woman of Brazilian origin, the mother of the child, her Italian partner and his son, aged around 10. The family dynamics and the tragedy of the event have deeply shaken the local community.

The carbon monoxide hypothesis

The most likely cause of this tragedy seems to be carbon monoxide poisoning. This hypothesis is currently at the center of the investigation, with the firefighters who have requested the intervention of the Nbcr (Nuclear Bacteriological Chemical Radiological) unit to conduct in-depth analyses in the house. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas, highly lethal in case of prolonged inhalation, often caused by malfunctioning boilers or heating systems.

The investigations in progress

The police are also present at the scene of the tragedy, busy reconstructing the event and verifying any responsibilities or anomalies in the domestic systems. The house has been isolated to allow experts to carry out the necessary technical assessments.

The community in shock

The news has thrown the community of San Felice a Ema, a usually quiet residential neighborhood on the southern outskirts of Florence, into despair. Neighbors and acquaintances of the victims have expressed disbelief and grief over what happened, describing the family as calm and well-integrated people.

The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide

This tragic episode draws attention to the risks associated with carbon monoxide, a silent killer that causes numerous deaths each year. Experts recommend regular checks on heating systems and the installation of carbon monoxide detectors, tools that can save lives by promptly reporting the presence of this gas.
