Twins found holding each other after both die from intense electrocution

Twin brothers have been found dead in each other's arms after being electrocuted. Francesco and Giacomo Fierloni, 22, were fatally electrocuted after accidentally touching high-voltage cables using a metal pole. It is believed that one of the brothers died while trying to save the other . The young men from Magione, Italy were training their pet birds ahead of the upcoming hunting season when the incident occurred. A pigeon reportedly landed on cables carrying around 20,000 volts , about 10 metres from the ground. One of the twins used a carbon-fibre pole, commonly used in hunting, an an attempt to usher the bird down. It is believed he inadvertently touched the live wires, which killed him instantly. His brother is thought to have tried to help, but succumbed in the same manner. When they failed to return home later that night and did not answer their phones, their father Giorgio, went out looking for them. The twins' location was tracked and they were found lying together in tall grass beneath an embankment. The brothers were locked in each other’s embrace, the Sun reported. Paramedics attempted to resuscitate the twins. Francesco and Giacomo were just a month away from their 23rd birthdays. Town mayor Massimo Lagetti knew the twins personally. Lagetti said: “They were two exceptional young men who worked with great dedication and were always extremely kind." “It’s a tragedy that is very hard to come to terms with.” Their parents told local media: “Francesco and Giacomo were our strength, our present and our future." “They were born together and they left together, united by a bond that went beyond brotherhood.” An investigation is now under way to determine the exact details of the incident.
