After the discovery of the remains of the Cessna that crashed on Wednesday in the Swiss Alps, the body of the pilot, 63-year-old Sardinian Massimo Giua, residing in the province of Perugia, was also identified.
In the area of Mount Grenzchopf, between the cantons of Appenzell and St. Gallen, a helicopter arrived and rescuers descended with the winch, confirming that the body was that of the man. Recovery will take a few days, then an autopsy will take place and finally the body can be returned to relatives.
On March 30 he left Siegen, in Germany, to return to Arezzo but his aircraft crashed into a mountain, it is not clear whether due to a human error or due to bad weather, or even a combination of the two factors. . At the time of the accident it was traveling at around 7,100 feet at a speed of 166 knots. The Swiss judiciary is investigating the case.
Great condolences in Castiglione del Lago, where the 63-year-old lived with his family.
