Two girls — described as being from a "Gypsy minority group" — died on the beach at Torregaveta, Italy, just west of Naples, after finding themselves in fierce waves and unable to swim to safety, CNN is reporting.
Lifeguards on-duty at the beach attempted to reach the girls in time, but managed only to pull their lifeless bodies from the sea, then initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Despite the best efforts of the lifeguards and emergency service personnel, the girls were not resuscitated.
After giving up on lifesaving efforts, the lifeguards covered each of the girls’ bodies with a beach towel out of respect for the dead. The feet and ankles of both girls poked from under the beach towels, a testament to two young lives snuffed out.
Within feet of the girls’ bodies, folks went about sunbathing and other beach antics as normal, ignoring the two dead bodies.
