Couple dead in Lake Como: Morgan Algeri tried in every way to save her friend Tiziana Tozzo

Morgan Algeri, in addition to freeing himself, desperately tried to save his friend, Tiziana Tozzo, who was with him in thecar ended up in Lake Como.

The 38 year old from Brembate Sopra, flight instructor and expert diverknew well the techniques for dealing with emergency situations like that (on social media he had posted a video showing how to free himself from the cockpit of a plane that had ended up in the water), and had applied them correctly: first he had kept the car windows up to delay the flooding of the car as much as possible, then he had partially lowered the driver's side window to let the water in little by littlelower the pressure outside the vehicle and be able to open the door.

The two had managed to unfasten their seat belts, and from the report of the Como firefighters, delivered to the Prosecutor's Office and to the Flying Squad, it appears that they were managed to open the driver's side door and get out of that car sunk 15 meters deep. But they were unable to resurface, and what killed them were the lack of oxygen, the cold and the pulmonary embolism. However, the autopsy will definitively clarify the causes of death.

The investigators are still trying to understand why the car ended up in the waters of Lake Como, but the fire brigade's report allows them to exclude the hypothesis of a murder – suicide (which had already been defined as “highly unlikely” by the investigators after the first investigations an accident, as the testimony also confirms of a person who had seen the car parked a few meters from the parapet. It would have been a technical fault or an accidental maneuver that caused the car to fall into the water. The expert opinion on the car will be decisivewhich will clarify whether a car failure was the cause of the sudden and rapid departure of the car.
