Tragedy at a home in Ghilarza. This morning , an explosion triggered by a gas stove occurred, leaving two dead.
The couple is Luciano Pinna, 80, and his wife Antonia , who would have celebrated her 73rd birthday today. According to the reconstruction, the man was struck by the flames, but was likely already dead: he was found in an armchair. The woman was found in the bedroom, still wearing a jacket, and had recently returned. They were most likely killed by the fumes that preceded the explosion.
The tragedy occurred on Via XVI Marzo, near the nursery school and the sports field. Adriano, the son, raised the alarm when he arrived on the scene.
Carabinieri, firefighters and 118 were on site. When the emergency services arrived, it seemed that the man was already dead, while the helicopter arrived for his wife but there was nothing that could be done.
According to an initial reconstruction, the system's supply cylinder had recently been replaced and the gas leaked due to the missing rubber seal.
