“We strongly embrace Rayen and Zakaria’s parents and express our deepest condolences. We would also like to reiterate our extreme sympathy at a time that leaves us dismayed.”

The news of the young boy’s death comes after the first results of an autopsy ordered on the body of Lorenzo Squillace, the healthy young lifeguard from San Benedetto del Tronto in Italy who died suddenly at the age of 18, were made available to Italian media outlets.

Following the death of the lifeguard from San Benedetto del Tronto, who died suddenly on Saturday, September 10, an autopsy was ordered by the public prosecutor’s office.

According to the first results of the autopsy examination, Mr Squillace appeared to have had a blood infection which, as the forensic doctors confirmed, was realised too late.

On Saturday, September 10, Squillace complained about feeling ill so his mother took him to A&E at the Madonna del Soccorso in San Benedetto del Tronto.

The worried woman parked outside and ran in with her son, left him with the doctors just long enough to find a parking space but when she returned, she found Lorenzo already intubated and dying.

The young man was healthy and had no prior health problems, according to local media reports. He trained, stayed fit and healthy and is believed to have had a normal lifestyle.
