Maldives, the bodies of the four divers arrived at the Gallarate morgue
Four bodies of Italian divers returned to Malpensa; prosecutors and police investigate the causes of the tragedy in the Vaavu atoll.
The scheduled Turkish Airlines flight that brought back to Italia the bodies of four Italian divers who died while diving in the Maldives landed at 13.10 at Milan Malpensa airport. They are marine biologist Monica Montefalcone, a lecturer at the University of Genoa, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, researcher Muriel Oddenino and marine biologist Federico Gualtieri. The body of the Paduan Gianluca Benedetti had already been repatriated in recent days.
After that, an autopsy will be ordered on the bodies of the four divers who died in the Maldives. It is not excluded that autopsies will be carried out in Busto Arsizio (Varese).
Milan, 23 May (LaPresse) - The bodies of the four Italian divers who died in the Maldives have arrived at the morgue of the hospital in Gallarate, in the province of Varese. The coffins, which landed shortly before at Milan's Malpensa airport on Turkish Airways flight TK1895, will remain composted and under sequestration until Monday, the day of the autopsies.
The first vehicle to reach the lìobitorio was a van with the wooden box containing the body of Monica Montefalcone, followed by a second with the coffins of Giorgia Sommacal and Federico Gualtieri. Last came the funeral car with the body of Muriel Oddenino.
Autopsy examinations could yield clarifications on what happened in the waters of the Vaavu atoll.
