Simone D’Arrigo, a 16-year-old student from Motta Santa Anastasia, tragically lost his life after falling 15 meters at the Etnapolis shopping center in Belpasso, Sicily.

The incident occurred when Simone climbed onto a plexiglass skylight in the parking area and began jumping on it.

The structure gave way under his weight, causing him to fall into a service shaft.

Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.

Authorities are investigating the circumstances, including whether safety violations at the shopping center played a role.

Friends and family are in shock, with many expressing their grief on social media.

A minute of silence was observed at his school to honor his memory.
