Body of Tourist Who Vanished Saving Children Recovered From Lake Como

An underwater robot located the 55-year-old at roughly 220 meters in a deep, turbulent stretch of the lake.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the victim as Sergio Corsano, a 55-year-old German tourist of Italian origin.
  • Corsano disappeared on August 25 after jumping from a rented boat near Domaso to help his two children, who were recovered safely.
  • Rescuers used a remotely operated vehicle sent from Sardinia to search depths unreachable for divers.
  • The ROV located the body at about 200–220 meters, and specialized diving teams recovered it and brought it ashore.
  • The multi-day operation involved the Vigili del Fuoco, sommozzatori, a helicopter and a hydro-ambulance, with efforts slowed by bad weather.
