"A guard at an Olympic construction site in Milan, Italy, died during freezing temperatures during an overnight shift on Thursday. Temperatures fell to 10 degrees (-12ºC) that night, and Milan Cortina organizers said that the worker died of a heart attack. Pietro Zantonini, 55, a security guard who worked in Cortina d'Ampezzo near the ice rink construction site, also died on the night between January 7 and 8, according Sarda."
"Zantonini is from Brindisi, a city in southern Italy, and would leave the security cabin every two hours to check his security perimeter. The night the temperature dropped below freezing, Zantononini called his colleagues to report that he was feeling ill. They called emergency services shortly before 2:00 a.m. When help arrived, they attempted to resuscitate him, but there was nothing more they could do. He had already succumbed to illness, according to L'Unione Sarda."
An overnight security guard at an Olympic construction site in Milan died during extreme cold. Temperatures fell to 10 degrees (-12ºC) the night of the death. The worker, Pietro Zantonini, 55, patrolled Cortina d'Ampezzo near an ice rink construction site and routinely left a security cabin to check the perimeter. He reported feeling ill to colleagues and emergency services attempted resuscitation after being called shortly before 2:00 a.m., but he had already died. Organizers indicated a heart attack as the apparent cause. The family filed a complaint, requested an autopsy ordered by prosecutor Claudio Fabris, and raised concerns about long night shifts and inadequate protection at construction sites.
