The Tempio Pausania Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into the death of a 50-year-old diver from Sassari.
According to an initial reconstruction, the man – Fabio Farina, born in 1976 and an employee of a specialized company – was working in a buoy field in Santa Teresa Gallura when, for reasons yet to be ascertained, he felt ill.
After the rescue, the man was brought to shore and given CPR.
The air ambulance also intervened on the scene, but attempts to save his life were in vain.
The Coast Guard is investigating the case and has seized the equipment used for the dive.
An autopsy will likely be ordered to shed light on the cause of death.
