A Romanian man was found dead in Italy, in the car where he had been sheltering

A 52-year-old Romanian man was found dead in his car, parked near the hospital in Esine, in Italy’s Brescia province. The man, who had been sleeping in the vehicle for some time, is believed to have died during the night, when temperatures fell below 8 degrees Celsius.

His body was discovered by his niece after she was unable to contact him for approximately a day. She called him daily and, concerned that he was not answering, went to the hospital parking lot, where she knew he spent his nights.

The Romanian man was found lying on the back seat of the car and covered with blankets. His niece immediately called emergency services, and a Red Cross crew and medical personnel arrived at the scene. Despite resuscitation efforts, the doctors were unable to save his life.

Initial checks carried out by the carabinieri and medical staff indicate hypothermia as the probable cause of death. Authorities are continuing their investigation to establish all the circumstances of the tragedy. After the procedures were completed, the man’s body was handed over to his family.
