The body of Domenico Puggioni, a 60-year-old spearfisherman reported missing since yesterday evening, was discovered five miles off the coast of Baunei in eastern Sardinia. Search operations coordinated by the Port Authority of Olbia resumed at dawn, deploying divers from Cagliari’s fire department, Tortoli’s fire brigade detachment, and multiple Coast Guard units.
Coast Guard helicopter crew members spotted the submerged body during an aerial search. A Coast Guard patrol boat subsequently recovered the remains, while fire department divers retrieved the deceased’s equipment from the seabed.
