The victim got tangled in a rope, lost balance and fell head underwater while trying to free a pinned boat, couldn’t free himself. One of his buddies cut the line and swam to the rescue, helped by another boater. All three were experienced. The victim was in a coma for almost 4 days, but has recovered completely. http://www.lanazione.it/la-spezia/spezia-canoista-vara-coma-1.526812 https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=it&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lanazione.it%2Fla-spezia%2Fspezia-canoista-vara-coma-1.526812&edit-text=
