A worker who was trapped after part of a medieval tower collapsed in the heart of Rome, has died, according to hospital officials.
Octay Stroici, 66, was pulled free at around 11.30pm nearly twelve hours after a section of the Torre dei Conti, on the edge of the famous Roman Forum and close to the Colosseum, gave way and trapped him beneath.
His heart stopped in the ambulance, and doctors at the hospital he was rushed to, were unable to save him.
The Romanian foreign ministry said Stroici was a Romanian national, and was another worker among three others pulled from the rubble. END
