US EditionTeenage golf star named as first victim of Swiss ski resort fire
Emanuele Galeppini, a 16-year-old Italian golfer, was the first victim identified among approximately 47 dead and over 100 injured in a Swiss resort fire, officials said.
- On January 1, 2026, a blaze tore through Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, killing around 40 and injuring 115 as the fire began in the basement around 1:30 a.m.
- Investigators say the blaze appears accidental as witnesses reported staff carrying bottles with lit sparklers, igniting flammable wooden ceiling material and triggering possible gas-release flashover or backdraft.
- The Italian Golf Federation announced the death of Emanuele Galeppini, a 17-year-old golfer and last year's Omega Dubai Creek Amateur Open champion.
- Hospitals reported severe strain with patients flown abroad to specialist hospitals, and the State Councillor said `Our teams are still on the front lines` as identification using dental and DNA samples takes days.
- Switzerland will observe five days of national mourning after what officials called one of the country's worst tragedies, while the Italian Foreign Ministry reported 16 nationals missing and France's foreign ministry confirmed eight missing citizens.
