President of the European Parliament is dead: David Sassoli died of it


David Sassoli († 65) died early Tuesday morning in the municipality of Aviano in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. A day before, a spokesman for the EU Parliament in Brussels had announced that Sassoli was being treated in a hospital in his home country, Italy. The stay had become necessary “because of a serious complication due to a dysfunction of the immune system”.

Specifically: Sassoli suffered from Legionnaires’ disease – a disease of the respiratory tract. It is caused by inhaling aerosols that contain the Legionella bacterium. This can mainly develop in warm, standing water. The infection can then lead to fatal pneumonia.
