Bowling Green, KY (US):
The deaths Wednesday of brothers Rory and Cory McDowell in two separate car accidents less than five miles apart has prompted an outpouring of support for the family.
Rory, 23, and Cory, 21, both of Bowling Green, were the sons of Andy McDowell, a deputy with the Warren County Sheriff's Department, and Rose Marie McDowell.
Both parents reside in Bowling Green. The sons lived with their father on Garrett Hollow Road."They were real giving boys. They cared more about everyone around them than themselves," said Christina Layle, a cousin who grew up with the brothers.
"They would just give you whatever they had if they didn't need it just to make you smile."Rory and Cory were very outgoing people, Layle said.
