# A man who was trapped under the rubble of a collapsed medieval tower in central Rome for hours on Monday has died. Romanian national Octay Stroici was pulled free nearly twelve hours after a section of the 13th-century Torre dei Conti, near the Colosseum, gave way and trapped him beneath. He died in the hospital. According to emergency services, one worker was in hospital in a critical condition, while three others were pulled out unharmed. The Rome Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into the incident.
