           Young Fascetta Dies Of Injury Sustained In Diving Accident

Michael C. Fascetta, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nicola Fascetta, of 2601 Ruffin 
Way, died last night at St. Vincent's Hospital as the result of injuries 
sustained in diving at Ocean View Sunday afternoon.
His death was unexpected, reports coming from the hospital yesterday leading 
inquirers to believe that he was improving and that hopes for a full recovery 
were bright.
Mr. Fascetta was brought to the hospital Sunday afternoon with what physicians 
thought was a broken neck. On Monday, however, an x-ray examination showed that 
the neck had been dislocated and that he was suffering from a fracture, but 
physicians held out hope for his recovery. Yesterday afternoon, however, he took 
a turn for the worse and died at 10:26 o'clock.
He is survived by his mother and father, one brother, Ernest; three sisters, 
Fannie, Adeline and Mary Lee Fascetta, all of Norfolk.
The body will be taken from the residence, 2601 Ruffin Way, to Blessed Sacrament 
Catholic Church for funeral services Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment 
will be in St. Mary's Cemetery.
