Father Could Face Manslaughter After Boy, 6, Killed by Forklift
- On Friday, May 8, six-year-old Lucas De March died after being struck by a forklift at Meccanica De March, his father Gabriele De March's engineering firm in Sedico, Italy, around 6:30 p.m.
- Lucas often visited the business after school, and employees stated Gabriele sometimes gave his son rides on the forklift in the company yard, according to reports.
- Authorities have confiscated the forklift for safety inspections to ensure regulatory compliance, while prosecutors are considering potential manslaughter charges against De March following the incident.
- Mayor Christian Roldo canceled the "Sedico in Festa" event, stating, "This decision is a sign of mourning and to honour the memory of Lucas," and asked locals to support the grieving family.
- Psychological support will be available at nurseries and primary schools attended by the child's friends, as Lucas, who had a three-year-old brother, was set to begin primary school in September.
