Twin brothers have been discovered dead in each other’s arms following an electrocution incident.<\/p>\n

Francesco and Giacomo Fierloni, 22, were fatally electrocuted <\/a>after inadvertently touching high-voltage cables<\/a> with a metal pole. It is understood that one of the brothers perished while attempting to rescue the other.<\/p>\n

The young men from Magione, Italy were preparing their pet birds ahead of the upcoming hunting season when the tragedy unfolded. A pigeon reportedly settled on cables<\/a> carrying approximately 20,000 volts, roughly 10 metres above the ground.<\/p>\n

One of the twins used a carbon-fibre pole, typically used in hunting, in a bid to coax the bird down.<\/p>\n

It is understood he accidentally made contact with the live wires, which killed him instantly, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His brother is believed to have attempted to assist, but died in the same way.<\/p>\n

When they failed to arrive home later that evening and did not respond to their phones, their father Giorgio, set out to find them.<\/p>\n

The twins’ whereabouts were traced and they were discovered lying together in long grass beneath an embankment.<\/p>\n

The brothers were locked in each other’s embrace, the Sun reported.<\/p>\n

Paramedics tried to resuscitate the twins.<\/p>\n

Francesco and Giacomo were merely a month away from their 23rd birthdays.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a tragedy that is very hard to come to terms with.”<\/p>\n

Their parents told local media: “Francesco and Giacomo were our strength, our present and our future.”<\/p>\n

“They were born together and they left together, united by a bond that went beyond brotherhood.”<\/p>\n

Authorities have now launched an investigation to establish the precise circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Francesco and Giacomo Fierloni, 22, were fatally electrocuted by high-voltage cables Tannur Anders UK & World News Reporter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[9,10,13,14,6,371,11,12,15,16,5,7,8,33523,65,66,67],"class_list":{"0":"post-453810","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-featured-news","11":"tag-featurednews","12":"tag-headlines","13":"tag-italy","14":"tag-latest-news","15":"tag-latestnews","16":"tag-main-news","17":"tag-mainnews","18":"tag-news","19":"tag-top-stories","20":"tag-topstories","21":"tag-twins","22":"tag-world","23":"tag-world-news","24":"tag-worldnews"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116467548043037182","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
