It is an everyday task in the household: loading and unloading the dishwasher. Usually completely harmless – but not for 63-year-old Alessandro R.* from San Martino Siccomario in Italy.
The early retiree, who lives alone, wanted to unload the dishwasher on Tuesday. However, he tripped over the open dishwasher door and lost his balance.
The Italian’s downfall came when the knives got stuck in the cutlery basket with the points facing up. As “RTL” reports, R. fell on such a knife – and severed his femoral artery. Within minutes the man bled to death.
No further investigation necessary
Alessandro R.’s attentive neighbors heard his cries of pain and immediately called the rescuers. However, they could only confirm the death of the 63-year-old.
According to RTL, investigators have been able to reconstruct the course of the accident based on the traces. No further investigation would take place because R. clearly died from a fall on the knife. The 63-year-old will be buried in the coming days. (gs)
