Collapsed villa in Caserta, dead woman extracted from rubble

The 74-year-old woman died in the night, pulled alive yesterday from the rubble of the collapsed house in San Felice a Cancello, in the province of Caserta. The 74-year-old, who was hospitalized at the Cardarelli hospital in Naples, did not make it. The woman’s husband died yesterday in the collapse. Firefighters and carabinieri intervened on the spot. The woman had been under the rubble for more than 6 hours, until the Fire Brigade finally managed to extract her. The house was inhabited by the couple and a gas leak would have been the cause of the collapse. According to what was hypothesized it would have saturated one of the rooms. When they woke up, probably by turning on a light, the explosion occurred which caused the collapse of the entire building.
