Lecco, the body of the 12-year-old boy drowned in the lake was recovered from a hundred meters deep

The body was a hundred meters deep, swallowed by the water and carried away by the currents that in this stretch of the lake turn into dangerous eddies. Fatou was found. In the early hours of Tuesday afternoon, the Milan firefighters’ divers identified and recovered the body of the 12-year-old girl, a Monza resident, originally from Gambia, who drowned last Thursday while bathing with her mother in front of Poncia di Abbadia beach. Lariana, on the Lecco shore of Lake Como.

The use of an underwater robot was essential in recovery operations, which allowed the body to resurface. The body was found about two hundred meters from shore, far from the point where the teenager had submerged, a few steps from the beach, only to be betrayed by the insidious seabed that snatched it from his mother’s hand. The rescuers never stopped: they worked tirelessly for six days and five nights to fulfill the promise they made to the girl’s mother, who has always followed the search from the beach: we will return her son to her.
