A 17-year-old British tourist died after a sand tunnel he was digging on a popular beach in Italy collapsed, burying him alive.
Riccardo Boni, who was on holiday in Montalto di Castro, Italy, with his family, was digging the tunnel when the incident occurred on July 10, as reported by Fox News.
According to local news outlet Corriere della SeraRiccardo and his younger siblings had moved closer to the shoreline, where they began digging a large hole nearly five feet deep in a secluded part of the beach.
But when Riccardo tried to crawl through the tunnel, it suddenly caved in, trapping him inside.
One of his brothers shouted, “Riccardo is under the sand,” according to The Sun.
The siblings pointed to the location of the collapsed tunnel, prompting their father and nearby beachgoers to rush over and dig frantically in search of him.
They found Riccardo buried in the sand, unresponsive and showing no signs of life.
An air ambulance arrived within minutes and attempted to revive him, but the boy could not be saved.
Authorities have since launched an investigation into the incident and will determine if an autopsy is necessary to confirm the cause of death, according to local reports.
