According to local media reports, the victim is E.F., 43, who has been living in the Italian municipality of Cadorago in Como for 15 years. The woman, married, was in Switzerland on vacation with family members.

She was in the Aquino area of Lavertezzo (in Ticino Canyon). Once entered into the waters of the river “Verzasca”, in the area where the Roman bridge “The jumping bridge” gets the flow.

Family members issue alarms to authority as the Albanian is pulled out of the river by some people not far from the scene.

The 43-year-old was transported by helicopter to the hospital, but failed to survive. She allegedly hit her head in the rock, which could have caused her feelings to lose.

Since 1975, some 30 people have lost their lives in the areas where the river flow is very strong.
