Photos: Best Friends Of 41 Years Break Down In Tears After Finding Out They Are Brothers

Two 41-year-old best friends have broken down in tears after being told they were switched at birth and spent their lives with each other's biological family. David Tait and Leon Swanson were swapped in the government-run Norway House Hospital in 1975 in the western Canadian province of Manitoba, DNA testing has confirmed.

'I want answers so bad,' Tait said, choking back tears at a press conference in Winnipeg on Friday.

He added that he felt 'distraught, confused and angry.'

Swanson tried to hold back tears and said he did not know what to say.

Tait's biological mother ended up raising Swanson instead, and Swanson's birth mother raised Tait, CBC News reported.
