Five-year-old twins — a boy and a girl — were found dead on the floor of their Bronx apartment Monday morning, cops and law enforcement sources said.
It wasn’t immediately known how the siblings, who did not have visible signs of trauma, died.
Their distraught mother told cops she put the children down so she could take a shower — and returned to find their bodies cold to the touch and stiff on the living room floor of their apartment on East 175th Street near Weeks Avenue in Claremont Village, the sources said.
She was in such severe distress that she needed to be hospitalized at BronxCare Health System for observation, the sources said.
The twins’ dad, meanwhile – who was at work at the time – rushed home after learning what had happened, according to the sources.
The grim discovery was made around 11:20 a.m., police said, adding that responding EMS workers pronounced the kids dead at the scene.
