Grant Paterson, a 54-year-old Scottish tourist, tragically died from severe burns sustained in a suspected gas explosion in Rome. The incident, which led to the collapse of the building he was staying in, occurred on the last day of his trip, and investigations are ongoing. Paterson had been hospitalized with burns covering about 75% of his body and was unresponsive prior to his death. Rome's mayor and Italy's tourism minister extended condolences and emphasized the importance of tourist safety.
"The safety of tourists is an absolute priority, and it is precisely for this reason that the tourism ministry has introduced specific measures regarding safety and fire prevention, so that everyone can stay in our country with complete peace of mind."
"I would like to express to his loved ones and fellow compatriots my personal condolences and those of the city, Gualtieri said. I truly hope that the investigation into the incident can quickly shed light on this terrible accident."
