Divers pulled the bodies of nine occupants from the house after a river overflowed its banks Saturday in the countryside near Palermo. The victims included a 1-year-old baby, a 3-year-old child, and a teenager.
In addition to the children, the BBC said, the dead included the mother of two of the children, her brother, her sister and their parents — and the mother of one of two men who weren't in the home when the flood hit. The two families had gathered in the country villa for the weekend.
One man at the house had gone out to walk a dog, the Associated Press reports. A father and daughter who were also staying at the home had gone out on an errand at the time,according to the BBC.
