A 15-year-old boy was electrocuted while playing with an electric football machine at an amusement park near the city of Savona, Italy, authorities said. The incident occurred on Sunday evening. Witnesses reported that the teenager was kicking the machine when he received a fatal electric shock. Emergency services arrived quickly and attempted to revive him for two hours, but their efforts were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The name of the victim has not been released. Police have launched an investigation into the accident, and the amusement park has been temporarily closed. Savona is a coastal city in the Liguria region of northwestern Italy.

Local officials expressed condolences to the family and promised a thorough investigation. The park operator is cooperating with authorities.
