Twin brothers havebeen discovered deadin each other's armsafter being fatally electrocuted.
Francesco and Giacomo Fierloni, 22, lost their lives afteraccidentally making contact with high-voltage cablesusing a metal pole. It is believed that one of the brothers perished while attempting to rescue the other.
The young men from Magione, Italy, were training their pet birds ahead of the forthcoming hunting season when the tragic incident took place. A pigeon reportedly settled on cables carrying around 20,000 volts, approximately 10 metres above the ground.
One of the twins used a carbon-fibre pole, commonly used in hunting, in an attempt to coax the bird down.
It is believed he inadvertently made contact with the live wires, which killed him instantly.
His brother is thought to have rushed to his aid, but met the same tragic fate.
When the pair failed to return home later that evening and could not be reached by phone, their father Giorgio went out to search for them.
The twins were found lying together in tall grass beneath an embankment.
The brothers were found locked in each other's embrace, according to the Sun.
Paramedics desperately attempted to resuscitate the twins.
