After several hours of searching, firefighters yesterday recovered the body of one of the two boys who disappeared in the waters of the Brenta River in San Martino di Lupari, Padua, while they were playing soccer on a small beach along the river. Apparently, one of the two boys had dived into the water to try to retrieve the ball. When his friend saw that he was in trouble, he jumped in to try to help him, but was carried away in turn by the current. The dramatic scene was witnessed by several witnesses, some of whom reportedly tried to help the two very young men, but they disappeared almost immediately from view.
