How did Tzane Janelidze pass away?
The incident happened while the 23-year-old was visiting Roghudi Vecchio, Calabria, an ancient mountain village that was abandoned in the 1970s as a result of a catastrophic flood. He slipped and fell into the ravine while standing on a balcony without a guardrail.
Firefighters rushed to the site, but their efforts to resuscitate him were in vain. Because of the ravine's depth, helicopters were eventually asked to rescue his body. His body was later brought to the town of Saline Joniche and given to the police there.

Many dreams, a home together, through our difficulties, through our joys, and we made it, us against all odds. So unfairly, so early. I love you so much. We will meet again. My Tzitsi.”
