He attempted to take his own life, saved by a vice-brigadier of the Ozieri Carabinieri who was off duty.
The soldier had been alerted by a worried friend who informed him that a close collaborator had failed to show up for work : "We're calling him but he's not answering and the phone is ringing to no avail."
The non-commissioned officer of the Arma, crew chief of the Radiomobile Unit of the Carabinieri Company of Ozieri, immediately reached the house of the missing person, finding the car outside . Sensing that he could not have gone far, he approached the garages of the condominium where he distinctly heard the ringtone of the telephone ringing.
At that point he alerted the Operations Centre of the Ozieri Carabinieri Company requesting the support of his colleagues, the Fire Brigade and a 118 ambulance.
At the same time, he continued to talk to the injured man blocked on the other side of the door, trying to reassure him and keep him awake until help arrived. Once on site , the operators forced the metal partition, managing to access the cellar , helping the man and taking him to the Emergency Room of the “A. Segni” Hospital in Ozieri where he is now recovering.
