Two brothers are recovering after they were electrocuted in Cass County over the weekend. The Cass County Sheriff’s Department says deputies were called to the scene in the 61,000 block of Daily Road in LaGrange Township shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. They learned 31-year-old Austin Francis of Kalamazoo and Cassopolis and 19-year-old Lane Francis of Cassopolis had been moving a sailboat when the mast struck a power line running to the house. Both brothers were electrocuted and moved away from the lines by rescuers. They were treated at the scene with AEDs and then taken to South Bend Memorial Hospital. They’ve since been transferred to a hospital in Fort Wayne and are listed in stable condition.
