Twins found deceased in pickup truck

Bossier City Public Information Officer Mark Natale said the twin’s official cause of death has not been determined.

Investigators “are trying to determine whether the children would have been able to open the door of the truck themselves”.

“There was a stool located next to the truck”, Natale said.

The twins’ parents had lived in the neighbourhood for nine years.

Child Protective Services was also investigating, although no signs of trauma were found on the children, the Shreveport Times reported.

“They were wonderful, happy kids”, Matthews said.

‘I pray every moment of the day for the family.

“People talk about Twin Talk and they had that”. “I did CPR on both of them”, she said.

Williams attempted CPR, but told the Shreveport Times it was too late.

“Her jaws had locked”.

Matthews said she’s heartbroken.

Alisha Orr contacted Matthews for help, before discovering the children.

“You could see this took him to his knees”. The mother, the wife of a Bossier Sheriff’s deputy, had alerted the family’s Horseshoe Trail neighbors that she couldn’t find the kids.

Just like she’ll always remember this past Saturday, when their mother ran to her looking for them.

Matthews said she and the twins’ mother searched everywhere, finally finding them unresponsive in the mother’s pickup truck.

“He asked, ‘Did they go to Heaven?’ He cried”.

“It’s certainly a tragic situation”, Natale said.

The father of the children posted photos on Facebook last month when son Oliver ended up hospitalized after he suffered a sudden injury.

Neighbor Rhonda Matthews said Alisha Orr looked in the backyard, and when she found Aria in the auto, she screamed. The focus will be on how the twins got into the vehicle, a spokesperson for the police revealed. However, the preliminary autopsy reports indicate that their deaths were related to the scorching heat.

The toddlers were hospitalized but were pronounced dead when they got there, police said.

The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office released a brief statement Monday afternoon.
