“Davide was good and always smiling”

“I have no words, rest in peace” is one of the many social messages that recalls Davide Pastorelli, the 46-year-old Cesena who died tragically after diving from a catamaran a few hundred meters off the coast of Milano Marittima. Well known in the city, his death brought an aura of sadness also because at the moment the dynamics of the tragedy seem inexplicable. The 46-year-old man’s body was found shortly after 9 a.m. Friday morning after intensive searches.

The tragedy at sea

A carefree afternoon for two couples aboard a catamaran, just steps from the well-known Papeete Beach establishment. After the decision to dive, since that moment the couple and friends have not seen Davide, until the tragic discovery. “He was a good boy, always smiling – the memory of councilor Luca Ferrini, who shared a school with Pastorelli – he was a very outgoing person, I will always have a good memory in my heart.”

The exact contours of the tragedy remain difficult to explain at this time. It is true that the sea was calm and after seeing it the divers friends had even thought about finding it on the coast. The searches began immediately. The Cervia Port Authority intervened at the site, as did firefighters with helicopters and divers, who flew over the area in search of the man. The alarm sounded on Thursday afternoon shortly after 5 p.m., searches that practically did not stop until 9 a.m. Friday, when the helicopter that flew over the area identified the body. “He was good and popular with everyone,” the unanimous memory of his friends. An outgoing character and a joie de vivre that also emerges from his Facebook page, many photos with his inseparable companion, witness to the inexplicable tragedy.
