In a generous and desperate attempt to save his brother, poisoned by the fermentation gases of the corn just stored in the silo of the family farm, he too was poisoned. Since three days, Francesco Gennero, 25, struggled suspended between life and death in an intensive care bed in the hospital of Savigliano. Francesco did not make it: he is the second victim, with his brother Davide, 22, of a morning of work turned into tragedy in a Cavallermaggiore farmhouse. After three days of irreversible coma, due to the gas fumes from the shredded corn, only the legal opinion of the medical commission is awaited for the declaration of death. Despite the attempts of the doctors, the young man never showed signs of recovery.
Tragedy in the Cuneo area, brothers fall into a silos: what happened.
–
A drama that took place in a few moments, last Thursday. Shortly after dawn, Davide was inside the silos of the family farm, in the countryside of Madonna del Pilone. He was leveling the corn silage cut the previous day and stored in the large structure behind the farmhouse. He worked at a height of 35 meters, almost at the top. Still little time and the silos would have been full and ready to carry out its function as a warehouse for food to be used in the coming months for the animals raised on the farm.
