Tourist dives into Lake Como to rescue his missing son

A tourist father, who was vacationing in Lake Como with his family, attempted to rescue his 16-year-old son after he encountered difficulties while swimming. The father jumped into the water to assist but became lost himself in deep waters where the lake floor drops rapidly. Despite a large-scale search involving coast guards, firefighters, divers, drones, and emergency services, the man remains missing. This incident follows similar cases in the area, including the recent disappearance of a nine-year-old girl and the recovery of a drowned fisherman, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in the region.
