Two hunters and their hunting dogs were found dead near the water in Highlands County, Florida on Wednesday afternoon.⁠ ⁠ An initial investigation showed that both men and their two dogs died from an apparent lightning strike sometime after 8 p.m. on Monday, according to a statement issued Thursday by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. The two men, identified by the HCSO as 38-year-old Alexander Karl Getz and 31-year-old Peter James Kaminsky, were both from Miami.
