Manslaughter investigation as yacht captain 'killed by toilet fumes'
An investigation has been launched after a young boat captain was found dead onboard. Giovanni Marchionni, 21, is thought to have possibly inhaled fumes from a chemical toilet or hull batteries. He was found on Friday on a boat which was moored at the Marina di Portisco in the municipality of Olbia in Sardinia, Italy. READ MORE: Everything we know so far as woman's death prompts murder investigation His body will undergo a post-mortem on Wednesday as part of a manslaughter investigation launched by the Tempio Pausania prosecutor's office. Giovanni had secured a job as captain of the boat after its owner and her family set off for a two-week holiday at sea. He was discovered unresponsive in the tiny cabin of the boat by a horrified marina worker in Portisco, north-eastern Sardinia. Giovanni, originally from a town near Naples, previously worked at a shipyard in Licola. He leaves behind his parents and four siblings. The mayor of Giovanni's hometown, Josi Gerardo Della Ragione, described the cabin as "so cramped that two people couldn't fit inside". Describing Giovanni, he said: "A cheerful young man, loved by many. "A dreamer who loved the sea." The mayor declared a day of mourning in the town on the day of the funeral to commemorate Giovanni's life. Investigators believe Giovanni had been dead for several hours before he was found, with early indications suggesting he may have been overcome by noxious fumes. A young woman was also reportedly with Giovanni the night before his death but left after noticing a "bad smell". There were no other guests on the vessel at the time. Specialist hazardous-substance teams, police, and harbour authorities attended the scene to investigate the death. The Tempio Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation, and the boat has been seized as part of its inquiries, local newspaper L'unione Sarda reports. Giovanni's grieving family said he had been hired as the skipper for the Costa Smeralda trip, working cash-in-hand and off the books. . The region is a popular destination for the rich and famous, attracting celebrities, yacht owners and those looking for a high-end holiday experience. The yacht's owner — a businesswoman from near Naples — insisted he was there as a holiday guest. Italian publication Il Mattino reported the case has gained national attention and widespread traction online. Mayor Della Ragione has vowed to stand by the family as they seek answers.

St. Paul officials say city systems will start coming online "within next week" after cyberattack
St. Paul city leaders say they eradicated the threat and are on the road to recovery after a cyberattack late last month prompted officials to shut down systems to minimize damage. It's why residents still can't use Wi-Fi at public libraries or pay their water bills online. Some city phones connected through internet were also impacted, though 911 emergency services have remained operational. In an interview with WCCO Sunday, Mayor Melvin Carter said the city will start restoring systems soon after 3,500 employees get their devices checked and passwords reset. That is happening over the next three days in what the city is calling "Operation Secure Saint Paul." "This a grand kind of reset and finishing that process will be able to put us in a place where we can start within the next week bringing systems back online safely," Carter explained. Carter said the individuals who launched the attack demanded a ransom, which the city did not pay. That detail had not previously been disclosed since the mayor's office first alerted the public of the attack at the end of last month. IT staff first were alerted to "suspicious activity" on July 25 and soon after, moved systems offline. In the more than two weeks since that happened, the city declared a state of emergency that remains ongoing and Gov. Tim Walz deployed the National Guard's cyber team to help. Had technology officials not taken the actions they did, the situation could have been much worse, the mayor added. "The sort of days where we should expect to build a wall that nobody can ever get through — we're beyond that. The question now is, how do you create systems that can flag and alert you to illicit activity right away? Our system did that," he said. There is still an active investigation into what happened but he and Jaime Wascalus, the chief information officer, expressed confidence that hackers did not remove any data during the breach, including personal information of city employees. "This is a big undertaking. There are a lot of logs to look through, but it has been just exhilarating every single day to hear from my team, 'we have no evidence'," Wascalus told WCCO. "We're already two weeks into here, and usually you would see that evidence of data being removed. So we feel really good about the position that we're in. But again, we want to be cautious because we haven't completed that forensic investigation." The city has not shared the total cost of fending off the cyber attackers and Carter suggested additional security measures — which would require more funding — will be a discussion at City Hall in the next few years. The average cost of a data breach is $4.4 million, according to an IBM report. Wascalus said while the city is shifting to the recovery phase of its operation, not everything will be back to normal right away. "We are going to start with public safety, with payroll, those critical systems that keep us moving forward," she said. "It will take a few weeks to get everything online. And that means we're doing it right. We're doing it slowly, safely and securely."

Man killed and nine rushed to hospital as broccoli recalled across Italy in deadly outbreak
A man has died in Italy after eating a broccoli and sausage sandwich suspected to have been contaminated with a deadly toxin. Authorities have ordered a recall of broccoli across the country after nine others were hospitalised with similar symptoms, all linked to the same street vendor. Health officials believe the illnesses may be the result of an outbreak of botulism – a rare but potentially fatal toxin that can develop in certain foods, such as broccoli, if improperly processed. The victim has been named as 52-year-old Luigi Di Sarno. Those taken ill with him included two women in their 40s and two 17-year-olds, all of whom were hospitalised. Mr Di Sarno was driving his family home from their holiday in Calabria when they stopped for a bite to eat in Diamante, off the coast of Cosenza province in southern Italy. All five people ate the same meal from the food truck, and all came down with symptoms of botulism linked to eating infected broccoli. Two of the patients were said to be in a serious condition when they arrived in intensive care. Botulism is a result of toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria and attacks the nervous system, causing breathing difficulties, muscle paralysis and is fatal in around 10 per cent of cases. The infection is rare and is usually contracted by eating contaminated food. Local media reports that the Paola Public Prosecutor's Office instantly seized all jars of broccoli in oil. Authorities also seized the food van where the sandwiches were prepared as an investigation seeks to determine how the toxin was spread. Mr Di Sarno is described as an artist and musician, who was taking family back home to Cercola, in the province of Naples, on Thursday. It was while driving on the highway near Lagonegro in Potenza, that Mr Di Sarno rapidly fell ill and he was forced to pull over in the small town of Basilicata. Emergency services rushed to the scene but Mr Di Sarno sadly died before making it to hospital. An autopsy is due to be carried out to determine his cause of death. Other customers besides his family are said to have fallen ill after eating from the same vendor and they were admitted to hospital in Cosenza. Due to authorities' immediate action in seizing the jars of broccoli in oil, local media have suggested that botulism is the likely cause of the illnesses. Botulism is headline news in Italy at the moment, after eight people were hospitalised after eating infected guacamole at a festival in Sardinia last month. The victims are believed to have eaten a dip on tacos at a Mexican food stand at Fiesta Latin, held between July 22 and 25 at Monserrato. The cases have led to health officials flying in vials of antitoxin serum to treat those who fell ill with botulism. Calabria Region's Department of Health and Welfare stated: "The emergency procedure established in these cases has been activated, which requires immediate notification to the Poison Control Centre in Pavia, the only national centre designated for the management of botulism. "No region or hospital in the country is authorised to store the antivenom in their own facilities. "This serum, however, is exclusively available to the Ministry of Health, which holds it in designated secure locations and distributes it only through the Lombardy Poison Control Centre."
