The body of a man has been found off the coast of Olbia: according to initial investigations, he is Enrico Piras, the 63-year-old fisherman from Tortolì who lost his life in the shipwreck on February 11th in the waters off Santa Maria Navarrese.
A small chain worn by the man was also valuable for recognition.
The Tempio Prosecutor's Office (due to its territorial jurisdiction) is investigating the case, working closely with the Lanusei Prosecutor's Office. The operations are being conducted by the Olbia Port Authority.
The tragedy
Piras was aboard the Luigino, a trawler under the command of Antonio Morlè, whose body was never recovered from the sea, on which Antonio Lovicario, the only survivor, was also working.
The three had ventured out despite the rough seas, and the Luigino had been hit by violent waves, causing it to sink. A short distance away was the Zeus, helmed by Morlè's brother and Piras's older brother. Despite their timely intervention, there were two casualties.
Piras had thrown himself into the sea before the boat sank, after taking off his clothes to try to float, but he had been swept away by the current.
