End of hope. The Italian tourist, who was treated at the hospital for 6 days in Kenya, lost his life in the fire that broke out in his holiday resort. Her name was Michela Boldrini, she was 39 years old and originally from the province of Bergamo; She had been in intensive care at the Aga Khan hospital in Mombasa since the day the catastrophic fire broke out. Her condition worsened until she died, she.
The Watamu Barracuda Inn resort, located on one of the most frequented beaches by Italian tourists, suddenly caught fire: strong winds and vegetation pushed the flames. Michela Boldrini was traveling with her cousin. The holiday was to end the next day. Maybe that’s why they instinctively didn’t run as far as they could, trying to get back to their room to get their travel documents and some personal belongings.
A few dramatic seconds and flames covered the entire area, causing both severe burns, which eventually proved fatal to Boldrini. The Barracuda Inn was devastated by the flames, while a neighboring resort, Lily Palm, lost only its beachside restaurant. “The wind completely forgave us – the flames stopped just before the kitchens and the hotel rooms where about a hundred Italians were staying were unaffected,” said general manager Maurizio Ciorra. According to the testimonies of Watamu residents, the fire started from Mbuyu Lodge, a bar-restaurant with rooms on the town’s main street. Traditional “makuti” roofs made of dry leaves meant the flames spread quickly.
After first responding to the couple and a woman from Naples, the only other tourist hospitalized, Star Hospital doctors quickly determined that Michela Boldrini’s condition was serious, although it was initially hoped that her life was not in danger. Woman writes the site malindikenya.net, He was transferred to Mombasa and immediately taken to Aga Khan’s intensive care unit. Despite the necessary treatments, the situation of the tourist from Bergamo worsened with each passing day and it seemed irreversible. Death today, just as the tourist’s mother was about to land in Mombasa, hoping to see him still alive.
