The body of a man was recovered during the night by the Harbor Master's Office in the sea in front of the Margine Rosso , on the coast of Quartu Sant'Elena .
The body was immediately transported to the cemetery of San Michele in Cagliari. The cause of death is not yet known, it could be a drowning but at the moment there are no other details.
The agents of the Quartu police station deal with the matter. From the first checks , the victim is an emigrant originally from Dolianova residing in Veneto, he was 71 years old. On the body, it seems, no wounds. He could therefore have drowned following an illness and then dragged by the waves.
The alarm was raised by some people who noticed the floating corpse and then alerted 118.
We are now trying to establish with absolute certainty the cause of the man's death.
