The employer of Pierpaolo Bodini, the 18-year-old who died on Thursday in Brembio (Lodi) crushed by the wing of a seed drill while he was cleaning it, is under investigation by the Lodi Public Prosecutor's Office for manslaughter. This is also a due act in relation to unrepeatable investigations that have been scheduled on the same agricultural vehicle that was immediately seized yesterday after the tragedy. For tomorrow, meanwhile, the date set for the young man's funeral, the municipality of Brembio has proclaimed national mourning, as the mayor Oriana Ghidotti had announced.
