Tourist Dies After Falling from Rome's Pantheon
A 69-year-old Japanese tourist, Morimasa Hibino, died after falling from the outer wall of the Pantheon in central Rome on Friday night, according to local police.
The victim was found in a ditch next to the monument, approximately 23 feet below street level, by a priest who alerted the authorities.
The man is thought to have fallen while sitting on the perimeter wall after suffering a sudden illness that made him dizzy.
An investigation has been opened, but no foul play is suspected, said a Rome police spokesperson.
The ancient monuments like the Pantheon appear sunken as they are about 23 feet below the current street level.
