Three probed in woodpile death of boy

(ANSA) - Arezzo, June 23 - Arezzo prosecutors on Thursday notified three people they are under investigation for manslaughter in connection with the death of a 12-year-old boy yesterday. Giacomo Brancadoro died after being crushed by a woodpile in the woods surrounding the hamlet of Stia in the Tuscan countryside in Arezzo province. The victim and three friends had climbed onto the woodpile, which gave way under their weight. Two of the boys were unharmed, and a third was hospitalized with a fractured ankle. The boys were on a camping trip with a group from Milan. Investigators are probing the camping trip chaperon and two owners of the company that piled the wood in the clearing for possible negligence or violation of safety regulations.
