Italian tenor¹ Salvatore Licitra has died from head and chest injuries suffered in a road accident.

意大利男高音赛尔瓦托·里契特拉在一场车祸中头部和胸部受伤而死。

Salvatore Licitra was seen by many as one of the greatest natural tenor talents of his generation
The 43-year-old - who was seen as the heir to Luciano Pavarotti in Italy - crashed his scooter（小轮摩托车） into a wall in southern Sicily last month.

He was not wearing a helmet when he crashed in the town of Modica.

The singer made his international breakthrough in 2002, when he stepped in for Pavarotti in Puccini's Tosca at the Metropolitan² Opera in New York.

Licitra died on Monday morning in the hospital in Catania, where he had been flown after the accident on 27 August, a statement on the the Swiss-born singer's website said.

He had been in a coma³（昏迷） since the crash and never regained⁴ consciousness.

Doctors at the hospital said Licitra's family had agreed to make his organs available for transplant.

They said that a news conference would be held later on Tuesday.
