BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - Rory and Cory McDowell were inseparable as brothers, riding motorcycles, fixing cars and hunting together. They were buried next to each other Friday, two days after dying in separate traffic crashes within minutes and just a few miles apart.
At the funeral, a collage of pictures near the two caskets showed the brothers growing up together. Hundreds of mourners tried to console each other and wondered how such tragedy could befall a family. The sons of Andy and Rose Marie McDowell had no other siblings.
Even the minister seemed to struggle with how their lives could end so abruptly, so young — Rory was 23, Cory 21. Their vehicles crashed early Wednesday — about 15 minutes and three miles apart. Both were near the home they shared with their father, a Warren County deputy sheriff.
