Bad weather, frost and snow on Italy: the other three deaths from the cold – The guardian

Eight victims to the frost in the last 48 hours. Angel is dead in the shed abandoned to Avellino, where he lived for five years, without a home and family. The body of Singh, instead, they found abandoned on the streets of Aversa, like that of Adam, killed by the frost in the gardens of the lungarno Area of Florence. They are stories of loneliness and desperation as those of the homeless dead with the first real wave of cold that has hit Italy.

there are at Least five victims of the polar temperature in the last 48 hours, while the other two homeless people were killed by the ills of a life passed in the street, which in days like these often become lethal: George, a Romanian 46-year-old tuberculosis patient found dead in the ex-Standa to Messina, and a tunisian 72-year-old who slept often in the boats moored in the harbour of San Benedetto del Tronto. He fell into the water, and there was nothing to do. To try to limit the umpteenth massacre, several municipalities have opened shelters to accommodate the homeless and dozens of volunteers pounding the streets of the city to distribute blankets and hot drinks; but it is almost impossible to track them all down. Adam Zbigniew Koziol have found this morning around 8, assiderato in a corner of the gardens, the Lungarno Santarosa, without documents.

he Had turned 48 years old on Christmas day and was a regular of those gardens: when there was no place in the headquarters of the Asl near there, that was his bedroom. The other, desperate with him, sharing the street life, they told us that the conditions of the Polish, ill for some time, had worsened in the last days: “he smoked a lot, but not willing to be helped”. The Polish was also a man of 66-year-old whose dead body was found inside an abandoned building, in via Antegnati, in the south area of Milan, known to be frequented by the homeless. Unknown to the social services of the Municipality, no citizen had ever reported his presence right when they arrived, the carabinieri, alerted by an anonymous phone call to the 118.

the call was probably another clochard and when the rescue arrived they found the man bundled up in several blankets, lying on a mattress shabby thrown under the stairs. The initial findings have confirmed that the death is due to frostbite, but will be an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Angel Lanzaro was Italian, born and raised in Visciano, a village in the province of Naples. Until five years ago his life was like that of many others: a job, a wife, three children. Then something must have broken in and this man 44-year-old is finished in Avellino where he lived by his wits, so as to accumulate a series of previous thefts, and a sheet of via required. As the house had chosen a box of ‘Mercatonè, a mega shopping mall and the abandoned in the city center.

he Left the family, Angel had had two other women, from whom were born three other children: he was himself to tell his story in an interview about ten days ago at a local radio station. But on that occasion, the tramps had launched a request for help to the institutions. Likely you fall in the void since the night of the Epiphany was still in the shed, along with two others of no fixed abode. So when the morning you are woken up, his comrades have not been able to give the alarm, but to the Angel by now there was nothing more to do. Will now be the prosecutor’s office, which has opened a dossier, starting from the hypothesis of the omission of first aid, to verify if in the time of his death there are of responsibility.

it Was from India Singh Amrik, the 47-year-old died two days ago in the road to Aversa. The man had arrived in Italy for a few years and had been welcomed before in the structure of St. Augustine and then in the dormitory of the house ‘Gratis Accepistis’. Described as a person discreet and willing, Singh had participated in the many initiatives of the local Caritas, to help those more unfortunate than him. As the homeless man who died yesterday in Latin: he found the parish priest of the church of the Immaculate conception, lying on the pavement two steps away from the parish. An hour before his death, had been passed in the area of social services, who had invited him, together with his two companions to go in a dormitory to shelter from the cold. But the man had refused.
