(ANSA) - Salerno, June 19 - A 64-year-old man died of a heart
attack while his illegally built home was being demolished at
Eboli near Salerno on Saturday, Il Mattino reported Monday.
Salvatore Garofalo, who lived in Campolongo, had 12 illegal
houses in the area.
The pensioner lived on State benefits after a kidney
transplant.
Eboli Mayor Massimo Cariello said "it's a great blow for all
of us. We inherited a dramatic situation of illegal building".
Southern Italy, in particular, is blighted by illegal
buildings but there are cases all over the country.
Centre-right ALA Senator Ciro Falanga said he was resigning
in protest at the destruction of "the house a pensioner lived in
with his wife and three small grandchildren".
