A Romanian couple drove for approximately 100 kilometers on Italy's A21 highway, traveling between Turin and Piacenza, with their deceased 31-year-old son in the back seat of their car. The tragic incident unfolded between the Casteggio and Voghera toll stations in northern Italy.

The couple, driving with the father at the wheel and the mother in the passenger seat, initially thought their son, who was in the back, was asleep. However, upon reaching a toll booth, they discovered he had no pulse and was unresponsive. Emergency services were immediately called.

Medical personnel at the scene confirmed the young man's death. It was later revealed that the son had a history of cardiac issues and had died from a heart attack. The incident has drawn attention to the couple's distressing journey and the circumstances surrounding their son's death.

The article also briefly mentions a separate incident in Palermo, Argentina, where a 50-year-old man died after collapsing in the street after leaving a gym. Emergency medical services attempted resuscitation but were unsuccessful. The man's father arrived at the scene and experienced a nervous crisis, requiring additional medical assistance.
