A fisherman of Sardinian origin, Giorgio Pau, 60 , was found lifeless near Torcello , one of the islands in the Venice Lagoon .
To give the alarm - reports the local press - was another fisherman, who noticed the body floating in the water . The coroner and the carabinieri then intervened on the spot.
The investigations made it possible to ascertain that it was a death from natural causes . In fact, the body showed no signs of violence . It would also be ruled out that the 60-year-old, who was wearing a diving suit, was run over by a passing boat.
Resident in Veneto for years, he was very attached to his homeland - he frequented a local Sardinian club - and he was also fond of fishing and boating.
A widower for some years, he leaves two children.
