CHICAGO—
A death investigation is underway after 5-month-old twins were found dead in a home in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood.
The twins’ father, Josue Romero says his wife, Victoria, found their twins, who were a week shy of turning 6-months-old, dead Thursday morning in the crib the infants shared. He said their mother had tried and failed to revive them and appeared to be in a state of shock when he returned from taking the couple's other children to school.
“I came home and I saw my children like that, and my wife, startled,” said Romero. “She didn't know what to do. She's trying to give my kids some mouth to mouth and then when I checked the babies they were blue.”
The couple has four other children, between the ages of 1 and 5.
The Dept of Children and Family Services says it began investigating the home in March of last year with what it considered a credible allegation of abuse against an older child in the home. Counseling and homemaking support began the following June. Then last month, there was a neglect complaint involving the babies, Julian and Giselle.
Autopsies were inconclusive."pending further studies"
