3 Brothers Suffer Heart Attacks on Same Day, Just 1 Survives


CATANIA, Italy –  Three Italian brothers suffered heart attacks on the same day, killing two of them.
 
The third was already in the hospital at the time, visiting his elderly mother, and was immediately treated by medics, the Corriere della Sera reported Tuesday.
 
Guido Garofalo, 45, was the first to succumb while on a family picnic 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. He died despite the efforts of first responders sent to the scene.
 
The two victims' older brother Salvatore, 57, remains in stable condition after being treated for a blocked artery at the Garabaldi hospital in Catania, eastern Sicily.
 
A sister, who lives in Rome, has not been informed of the tragic deaths yet because she suffers from the same congenital heart disease, the paper said.

How very, very sad...
when one of my brothers died in a car accident in 2007, the next day, another brother, because of personal health problems, the stress of a wife w/ cancer, and the prospect of having to try to coordinate care for her and his young daughter so he could go to the other funeral, dropped dead of a massive stroke...
that was not a good time for our family...
