Colleagues of dead worker blame heat

(ANSA) - Trento, July 22 - Workers at Marangoni tire-maker demonstrated Wednesday at the factory gates after the death last night of a colleague who they said collapsed from extremely high temperatures inside the plant during a heat wave.
    Carmine Minchino, 54, fell ill at the plant in Rovereto, in the northern Trentino region.
    He was working in the curing section, the final part of the tire-making process which involves placing assembled tires into incandescent molds.
    He died in hospital overnight.
    An autopsy will ascertain the cause of death.
    Trentino is among the regions hardest-hit by the current heat wave, which local emergency services said has caused heart attacks and other heat-related illnesses.
