John Benjamin, 35, was found dead by a makeshift tent on the land surrounding an abandoned Sicilian farmhouse on Sunday morning. A goat’s head, drug paraphernalia, and a rope were discovered close to his naked body just a few kilometres from the town of Canicattini Bagni, according to local media reports. It was reported that the Brit had been camping in the area for a few days and had been looking to join up with the nomadic group settled in the Sicilian mountains.   A few people staying at the camp will be interviewed by police after neck injuries were discovered. (Glimpse of Ortigia, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy, Europe.

The close-knit Canicattini Bagni community has been rocked by the death, which has marred the isolated town’s celebration of its patron saint.   Townsfolk have been seeking information on ‘flower child’ hippie communities performing ‘spiritual rituals’ out in the rugged countryside. Locals told (https://www.lasicilia.it/news/cronaca/3073396/siracusa-tra-misteri-e-riti-esoterici-il-giovane-trovato-morto-nudo-e-un-inglese.html) La Sicilia that decades ago, a group of youths would break into the cemetery at night to light fires and write on the walls – but they were identified and punished by their parents. Mayor Paolo Amenta spoke out on the death, telling the town: ‘I am—and we, as a community, are—deeply shaken and saddened by what has occurred. ‘A person’s life is too precious to end in such dramatic circumstances—circumstances that have yet to be clarified. We stand with the family and share in their sorrow.’ The town’s mayor has reiterated the need for caution and to allow authorities including public prosecutors and forensics to carry out their investigation. ‘They have never caused any problems. They are mostly nomadic people passing through,’ Mayor Amenta said when asked about the group ‘who are seeking a freer life’. He said children are often seen with the group as others are invited to join the lifestyle, even setting up more permanent homes. ‘When I had the opportunity to speak with them, they always conveyed astrong sense of serenity to me. This is also why I was saddened and shocked by this news.’ (https://metro.co.uk/trending/?ico=trending-post-strip_more) Trending Now   (https://metro.co.uk/2026/09/14/two-great-north-run-competitors-die-collapsing-half-marathon-29606048/) (NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 13: Runners take part in the AJ Bell Great North Run on September 13, 2026 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
