A tragic accident in Milan has claimed the life of an 83-year-old woman after a 70-year-old pensioner jumped from a fourth-floor apartment and landed on her. Francesca Manno was walking through the courtyard of the building in the Baggio district on Sunday, September 14, at around 6 p.m. local time when the man fell on her, according to local media reports. The pensioner, who lives in the same building, had climbed over his balcony railing in an apparent suicide attempt. Initial fears of a double suicide were later dispelled when authorities confirmed that Manno and the man were strangers. Passersby alerted emergency services, and paramedics rushed to the scene. Despite efforts to revive her, Manno was pronounced dead at the site. Witnesses said she bore the full impact of the fall. The man survived with multiple leg fractures and was transported to Niguarda Hospital. Doctors confirmed he was not in life-threatening condition. Carabinieri officers from the Radiomobile unit and the San Cristoforo station confirmed that the fall was a suicide attempt. He has since been charged with involuntary manslaughter and remains under investigation. The incident comes amid another tragedy in Italy, where 15-year-old figure skater Matilda Ferrari was killed by a cement truck while crossing the road near her home in Val Rendena, Trentino, on Monday morning. The driver was reportedly passing through a green light. Rescue teams and local doctors attempted to save her, but she was pronounced dead from severe injuries. Manuel Cosi, the mayor of Giustino, where Matilda lived, expressed his grief: We are shocked... Giustino has lost a star. Both incidents have cast a shadow over northern Italy as communities mourn two lives lost under tragic circumstances.The post
