A fatal workplace accident occurred at a warehouse in Prata di Principato Ultra, in the province of Avellino, after a skylight on the warehouse roof gave way.
According to local reports, the worker fell several metres when the skylight collapsed. Il Mattino reported the death in connection with the skylight failure, while Ottopagine and Corriere Irpinia independently described a fall of several metres ending in the worker's death.
Victim
Ottopagine described the victim as a worker from the Salerno area and gave his age as 55 in its report. The validated reporting does not establish further personal details beyond that description.
Readers should note that the available material is inconsistent on the victim's age: the body of the Ottopagine report says 55, while associated headline metadata reports 50. The age given here reflects the article body.
Investigation
The accident was being investigated by the Carabinieri, the Labour Inspectorate and the Avellino Prosecutor's Office, according to Ottopagine.
The victim died at the scene. Ottopagine reported that the body was placed at the disposal of judicial authorities for examinations to be ordered.
What remains unclear

The precise sequence of events, the safety conditions at the site and any legal responsibility remained under investigation at the time of the reports. No independently verified visual media or official judicial statement was found in the retrieved material.
