20 May 2020 Drama in the province of Bergamo: a 10-year-old boy died after being stuck in a dumpster for the collection of used clothing, probably after he had climbed to collect clothes. It happened in Boltiere, in the lower Bergamo area: a passer-by noticed that the child's body had been crushed in the closing gear of the box and raised the alarm. The child was not conscious, his condition immediately seemed very serious and the sanitary workers tried to revive him.

Two ambulances and the Dalmine firefighters arrived on the site and they dismantled the box to free it. Urgently transported to the hospital, the boy died shortly after his arrival at the Papa Giovanni hospital in Bergamo. The carabinieri of Treviglio are investigating the dynamics of what has happened.
