A 25-year-old Amazon warehouse worker died during a night shift in Rome’s Settecamini district. The cause of death has not been officially established, and the circumstances are under investigation.
Colleagues raised the alarm shortly before 2 a.m. Emergency responders were unable to save the man. He worked as a warehouse operator at the facility on Via Peroni in Settecamini. Initial reports said he may have suffered a sudden medical emergency.
Marino Masucci, general secretary of the Fit Cisl union in Lazio, offered condolences to the worker’s family and called for the circumstances to be clarified.
