Tragic Loss of Young Heart Patient

Published: 2024-09-26

Tommaso Bisciari, a 14-year-old student from the Olivetti Institute in Fano, tragically passed away after collapsing in class due to a heart condition.

Despite the efforts of emergency medical personnel, including the use of a defibrillator, Tommaso could not be revived.

He had been waiting for a heart transplant for over two years, but the call for a compatible donor never came.

His sudden death has deeply affected his classmates, some of whom were sent home due to distress.

The local community, including the mayor of Fano, has expressed profound sorrow over the loss.

Tommaso's family, who had been hopeful for a transplant, praised the medical staff for their care and support during his illness.

No autopsy was ordered as the cause of death was determined to be natural.
