A 46-year-old homeless man of
African origin died in St Peter's Square overnight, Vatican
sources said Wednesday, the 10th homeless person to die in Rome
in the last three months.
The man lived in the St Peter's area.
Sant'Egidio Community charity volunteer Carlo Santoro told ANSA
the man, Edwin, either died of hypothermia or of a heart attack
brought on by the condition he was living in.
"His name was Edwin, he was very reserved," said Santoro.
"We are very pained by what has happened.
"He is the 10th person who has died in Rome in these
circumstances since November".
