Un plongeur se noie dans le lac Majeur à Tenero

Un plongeur italien de 56 ans, résidant dans la région de Bellinzone (TI), a perdu la vie jeudi peu avant 19h00 dans le lac Majeur, près de Tenero (TI). Alors qu'il se trouvait sur un bateau, l'homme est tombé à l'eau pour une raison inconnue, a indiqué la police cantonale.

Il a été ramené à bord par ses compagnons de plongée, mais les tentatives de réanimation des secouristes et de la police sont restées vaines, précise la police dans un communiqué.



A 56-year-old Italian diver, living in the Bellinzona area (TI), lost his life on Thursday shortly before 19:00 in Lake Maggiore, near Tenero (TI). While on a boat, the man fell into the water for an unknown reason, the cantonal police said.

He was brought aboard by his diving companions, but attempts to resuscitate the rescuers and police have been in vain, the police said in a statement.
 
Pure speculation but one of my bugaboos. I wonder if he was wandering around the boat with his weight belt on.
