Pink I.D Card & Yellow Book

[DavidOxon]

I tried to find a DTI thread but they all seem to be closed.

Remarkable similarities between this and the elderly couple that died together?

Doctors were today investigating how two Italian brothers suffered fatal heart attacks on the same day while a third was left fighting for his life.

The bizarre incident happened as Guido Garofalo, 45, and his older brother Alberto Mario, 53, were on a picnic with their wives and children.

First to have a heart attack was Guido who collapsed to the ground in front of the horrified group

But as his brother Alberto Mario tried to save him, he too grabbed at his chest.

Paramedics were immediately called to the scene at Pianeta di Nicolosi on the slopes of Mount Etna near Catania on the island of Sicily but both were declared dead by the helicopter crew that had arrived to help.

The terrible chain of coincidence then continued as it emerged a third brother Salvatore, whose age is not known, suffered a heart attack at approximately the same time as he visited their mother in hospital.

Doctors and nurses rushed to help him and he is this afternoon recovering in the intensive care unit.

Staff said the fact he was in a hospital when he had the attack had 'probably saved his life'.

He has not been informed of his brothers' death and a sister who lives in Rome, and who is known to suffer from a heart condition, has also not been told.

Dr Thekia Maurhoff, of the Garibaldi hospital in Catania, said: 'All three cases are being investigated - it is quite unique and I have never heard of anything similar like this happening three heart attacks in three brothers all at the same time.

'From initial checks it would appear that all three brothers suffered from a heart condition and this lead to them all suffering attacks, virtually at the same time and in two cases they proved to be fatal.

'Salvatore is currently in a stable condition in the intensive care unit of the hospital and his condition is being closely monitored but the fact he was in hospital at the time certainly helped save his life.'

Professor Filippo Crea, an expert at the cardiology unit of Rome's Cattolica University, said: 'Genetic factors almost certainly played a part in this tragic event as heart attacks in those aged under 60 are usually caused for those reasons.'

This is so marginally Thailand related I don't even know where to put it. I am guessing you are trying to draw some sort of parallel here but really, this is stretching it very very thin.
