A 55-year-old guard working an overnight shift at a Cortina d'Ampezzo construction site for the 2026 Winter Olympics died during subfreezing conditions (about 10 F); organizers say it was a heart attack and a full investigation is underway, with Italian officials seeking answers. The incident occurred outside Cortina's ice arena at a site not overseen by the government-backed Simico. The Milan-Cortina games run Feb. 6-22.
