RE: POST 160
Idaho authorities are investigating the "suspicious" deaths of identical twin boys who apparently died at the same time Monday - just one month after their birth.
Police say mom Kiarra Kimbell called 911 early Monday morning and reported one infant not breathing at her Pocatello home.
First responders found both babies, Gabriel and Tryce Medrano, non-responsive in an adult bed, Lt. Paul Manning with the Pocatello Police told the Daily News.
The infants were rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead on arrival, he said.
"It's suspicious because we have no trauma, and while they were born prematurely, the doctor says they were in good health. We have to look at it suspiciously," Manning said.
"The autopsies were last night. We haven't found anything yet. We have to wait for toxicology results that take about six weeks," Bannock County Coroner Kim Quick told The News.
Investigators already have ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning.
"We monitored the home, and it was not present. There was no fireplace, no gas, no possible source," Quick said.
