A 14-year-old Ohio girl and her 12-year-old sister were crushed to death while relaxing in a backyard hammock, according to reports.

It happened Sunday evening at the girls' home in Cleveland Heights.

Fox 8 Cleveland identified the girls as Scout, 14, and Chasey Scaravilli, 12.

Per accounts, the hammock was tied to a tree on one side and to a brick pillar on the other. Somehow, the brick collapsed onto the girls, killing both.

“The entire HB community is saddened by the loss of the Scaravilli sisters; they will be greatly missed by so many friends, classmates, and teachers,” Hathaway Brown Head of School Fran Bisselle said in a statement obtained by Fox 8.

“Our thoughts and prayers are dedicated to their family,” she said.
