Tragedy struck near the ATP Finals in Turin on Monday, as two separate incidents resulted in the deaths of two men, aged 70 and 78, in the vicinity of the Inalpi Arena.
Emergency medical services responded swiftly to both situations. Despite their rapid intervention and transport to the hospital, both individuals tragically passed away shortly after arrival, according to reports from Italian media.
The first incident involved a 70-year-old man who suffered a heart attack in the fan zone, a bustling area adjacent to the tournament grounds. The second fatality occurred during a match featuring Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz, when the 78-year-old man collapsed in the stands.
