Overview

  • The first body, believed to be a woman of about 70–75 years old wearing light clothing, was spotted 60 meters off Poetto Beach and taken to the Capitaneria quay at Piazza Deffenu.
  • A second recovery involved a man’s body spotted near the Sella del Diavolo promontory close to Cala Regina after a German tourist’s report prompted dive team deployment.
  • Forensic pathologist Roberto Demontis accompanied coast guard crews during the Poetto operation to oversee preliminary medico-legal assessments aboard the patrol boat.
  • Carabinieri investigators are examining both cases to determine the causes of death and establish the victims’ identities.
  • These latest incidents follow a mid-June discovery at Su Siccu Dock, highlighting challenges in identifying individuals and ruling out foul play in busy summer beach areas.
