On the late afternoon of Thursday, July 24, a dramatic event struck Desenzano del Garda, where a body was discovered near the railway tracks of the line connecting Milan to Venice. The lifeless body was found in the San Martino della Battaglia area, near via Risorgimento, around 7:30 PM, leading to the suspension of train services towards Peschiera del Garda. Emergency responders, including ambulances and firefighters, arrived at the scene, but all attempts at rescue proved futile.
Law enforcement immediately launched an investigation to clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident, but the identity of the victim has not yet been disclosed, and the details remain uncertain, with the possibility of voluntary action among the theories being considered. The situation significantly impacted railway traffic, causing delays of up to four hours and numerous cancellations affecting both regional and high-speed trains. The entire route was blocked to allow for the investigations required by the judicial authorities.
