A 66-year-old small mechanical entrepreneur died in the afternoon in his engineering company in Resana (Treviso) while he was working with a lathe on a metal component.
According to initial information, the man, the owner of the company, would have remained 'hooked' with a garment, perhaps the coat, to the lathe in operation, being dragged towards the gears.
