Two more victims of ancient volcano eruption found in Pompeii

Researchers believe what they found under the rubble of a house are the remains of two men aged around 55. The men died of "multiple traumas" after parts of the building collapsed, experts say.

One man was hit by a part of a wall of a room that collapsed, while another part of the wall showed the massive intensity of the earthquake that accompanied the volcanic eruption. The entire upper part of the room fell in on itself, crushing and burying the other man. Both skeletons were found lying down with the position of one giving the impression that he had tried to protect himself with his arm raised.
