CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio (WJW) – Cleveland Heights police said two sisters were killed after a brick pillar collapsed onto a hammock they were lying in at their home.

Cleveland Heights Police and Fire responded to a call of a girl trapped beneath brick at the Berkshire Road home around 7:45 p.m. Sunday, according to police.

Police said the sisters were in a hammock that was tied to a tree and brick pillar when the pillar collapsed onto the girls. Once the pillar was removed and the two girls were freed, they were taken to a local hospital where they died several hours later, according to police.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victims as 12-year-old Chasey Scaravilli and 14-year-old Scout Scaravilli.
