Two people died Thursday after being struck by lightning at a park in Pennsylvania, authorities said.
Brendan McGowan and Kaitlyn Rosensteel, both 18, were found dead below a large splintered tree next to a lake in Mammoth Park in Mount Pleasant Township around 4 p.m. local time, according to the Westmoreland County coroner's office.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud crack and seeing a large flash of light in the area where McGowan and Rosensteel were fishing at the time. The pair both suffered injuries consistent with being hit by lightning and were pronounced dead at the scene, according to the coroner's office.
The official cause and manner of death will be determined pending autopsies and toxicology results.
