A man managed to save his young children after they fell into the water but tragically failed to resurface himself. This is the initial reconstruction of events from Monday afternoon on the Lecco side of Lake Como, opposite the town of Dorio.
The man, who was on a boat, dove into the water to rescue the two children. He was subsequently swallowed by the lake’s strong currents and is now missing.
The alarm was raised by tourists on the beach who witnessed the man submerge and not return to the surface. A fire department helicopter and an ambulance boat were mobilized to join the search efforts.
