Cold in Tortona, dead homeless

(ANSA) - ALESSANDRIA, DECEMBER 6 - A homeless man was found dead this morning in front of the Tortona station in Alessandria. It was the cold that killed him, with temperatures that fell below freezing at night. The 118 could not do anything other than confirm the death. Carabinieri and the railway police are also on the spot.
The victim is a 48-year-old Romanian citizen, already noted other times in the station square. "We are baffled, a male dormitory has been operating for years, right in front of the station, with 13 places available for people in need", comments the mayor of Tortona, Federico Chiodi.
That of Tortona is the second victim of the cold after the homeless man found dead on the outskirts of Milan yesterday.
He died on a bench between the first and second track of the station, and not outside on the outside as he first learned, the homeless killed by the cold in Tortona (Alessandria). The man, small precedents behind him for resistance and drunkenness, had been followed by social services. Only a week ago, the carabinieri of the radio had invited him to go to the dormitory, which is located in front of the station. However, the invitation of the Arma soldiers had fallen on deaf ears and the man had continued to sleep on the street. After some political controversy, the station's waiting room is indeed closed at night
