Two die as three brothers have heart attacks on same day

THREE Italian brothers suffered heart attacks on the same day, two of them dying as a result.

The third was already in the hospital at the time, visiting his elderly mother, and was treated by medics, according to reports in the Corriere della Sera.

Guido Garofalo, 45, was the first to succumb while on a family picnic on Sunday on the steep slopes of Sicily’s Mount Etna volcano. His brother Alberto, 53, was overcome with grief on seeing him drop dead and suffered a cardiac arrest shortly afterward and died.
