Two 17-year-old boys in Northern California died when they grabbed onto an electrified bridge after jumping into an irrigation canal to rescue a dog swept up in the swift current, authorities said Tuesday. Jacob Hourmouzus and Jacob Schneider died of electrocution at a hospital on Monday, according to the Solano County Sheriff's Department. Hourmouzus and Schneider rescued the dog and tried to pull themselves out of the fast-flowing water. The route had no signs indicating that the bridge was electrified or that the water in the canal moved dangerously quick, Candy Carrillo, Hourmouzus' mother, told the Bee. Counseling services were available to the teens’ classmates at Dixon High School, Principal Stephanie Marquez told FOX11 Los Angeles.
