A 47-year-old from Bari died at sea in Forcatella , in the province of Brindisi , after saving his two little girls, 11-year-old twins, who were unable to return to shore.
According to reports, the man was on the beach with his family when he noticed the girls in difficulty due to the waves caused by the wind, and dived and managed to save them .
He, however, would have felt bad not being able to get out of the sea. Other bathers, when they saw him floundering, dived to help him. But by the time they reached him it was too late, the 47-year-old was already dead . They brought him ashore but the 118 health workers could do nothing for him and tried in vain to revive him .
The dynamics of the facts were confirmed by the Port Authority, in a note.
Further investigations into the dynamics of the tragedy are underway.
