A Romanian construction worker trapped under rubble after part of a medieval tower in central Rome collapsed on Monday died in hospital after being pulled out alive over 10 hours after the partial collapse. He then went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived when he reached the hospital, the dpa news agency reports quoting Italian media, including news agency ANSA.
The incident occurred at the historic 13th century Torre dei Conti, which is undergoing renovation. The tower is located near the Imperial Forums and the Colosseum, which are popular tourist attractions.
Three other workers were also initially trapped on the upper level of the structure but were rescued and only sustained minor injuries, ANSA reported. One of the injured workers is also Romanian.
