A 37-year-old British man is reported missing after entering the water of Lake Como in northern Italy, prompting a major search operation. Authorities and search teams are looking for him following the incident.
Multiple outlets report that the man was on a boat off the commune of Dongo. According to accounts cited by the media, he jumped into the lake in an attempt to help other people in trouble, including a struggling boy (or boys) and possibly family members on the boat. The search continues as rescuers attempt to locate him.
While the general circumstances are consistent—his disappearance after a lake dive from a boat near Dongo—outlets describe the motivation slightly differently, referring to him diving to rescue a boy or to help a father and son. No official findings about what happened after he entered the water are included in the provided reports.
