Why It Matters
The worker was rescued in an isolated area of Caivano and died in hospital following serious polytrauma injuries.
The hypothesis of an accident at work is strengthened in relation to the death of Salvatore Calignano, the 61-year-old construction worker who died yesterday at the hospital del Mare in Naples after being hospitalized the day before for serious polytrauma injuries.
The injured man had been rescued in an isolated area of Caivano, in via Fossa del Lupo, after a call to 118. At 1pm on Friday, according to what the man's wife told his lawyer, Francesco Petruzzi, Salvatore was working on the roof of a warehouse, in Caivano, in the province of Naples. Furthermore, the Calignanos' car was found there.
Also according to the woman, Salvatore was carrying out "under the table" work on the roof of the warehouse, to lay an insulating sheath. The same construction worker reported to the 118 paramedics who had helped him on the street, before losing consciousness, that he had hurt himself by falling from a ladder.
The Prosecutor's Office of North Naples, which entrusted the Carabinieri with the investigation into what appears to be yet another death at work, has ordered the autopsy. The 61-year-old's cell phone was also seized. Investigations are underway, among other things, to trace the identity of those who asked for help on 118.
