Some 20 coffins fell into a southern Italian river after a cemetery wing collapsed after torrential rain recently near Benevento, local sources said.
The incident happened at Sant’Agata de Goti.
Some 80 urns also ended up in the river together with the coffins.
“That wing of the cemetery that collapsed” said the mayor of Sant’Agata de Goti, Salvatore Riccio, “was on a ‘dry’ stream that, with the heavy rains of the last few hours, has filled up with water, which probably caused the collapse”.
