He suddenly fell ill while on board his boat, parked on the dock, and fell into the water. Thus Dante Bisio , the 59 -year-old (and not 76-year-old as initially learned) died in the late morning of today in the area of the small port of Perd'e Sali , in Sarroch , on the southwestern coast of Sardinia.
The causes of death , as ascertained by 118 and by the Coast Guard, who intervened on the spot, are to be attributed to the illness , perhaps a heart attack that left the 59-year-old no escape.
On the spot, together with the Port Authority, the carabinieri and the 118 doctors intervened and tried to revive him, but to no avail.
