Authorities are probing the ‘suspicious’ deaths of one-month-old identical twin boys, whose mother called 911 to report they were not breathing.
Kiarra Kimbell, of Pocatello, Idaho, called the emergency services at 8:35am yesterday morning and the babies were taken to hospital.
But Gabriel and Tryce Medrano - who neighbours said looked to be in good health on Sunday - were pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

Autopsies were planned to determine the cause of the deaths. The area around their mother’s home was cordoned off with police tape.
Ms Kimbell lives with two other children and she travelled in one of the ambulances taking the twins to hospital, reported the Idaho State Journal.

Mrs Kimbell's Facebook profile says is a divorcee before having a ‘crazy’ relationship with another man. Now she is ‘single and trying to start over’.

Her last post on November 10 said: 'Wow, it is amazing to have two babies. Hard work and lost sleep but way worth it. I love them so much.'
The father, Ross Medrano, posted on his Facebook page: 'Daddy and Mommy love you guys and you will always be in our hearts.'

He also wrote: 'I just want to thank everyone for all the love and the support. Kiarra and I are very thank (sic) for all the love and support.’
A month before the babies’ birth in October he posted pictures of himself dancing with friends and lists himself as ‘single’ on his profile.

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.

"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.
Asked if the infants were on any medication, he said the probe was ongoing.
"We have to wait and get all the facts together," he said.
Neighbors told the Idaho State Journal that the twin babies appeared to be in good health Sunday.
"Wow it is amazing to have two babies. Hard work and lost sleep but way worth it. I love them so much," Kimbell, 27, wrote on Facebook about two weeks after giving birth Oct. 27.She listed her relationship status as single. Older postings hint at her on-again, off-again relationship with the boys' father Ross Medrano.

So sad... I can't help but wonder if this was some freaky SIDs meets twins psychic-connection thing...

I hate to think that someone could harm such tiny innocent beings, but this site proves me wrong again and again. We will see if that's the case here.

Tragic twin babies suffocated to death in their mother's bed

Twin boys who died in their sleep were accidentally suffocated, an Idaho coroner has ruled.

The deaths of Gabriel and Tryce Medrano had been investigated as possibly suspicious, but it is now clear that it was no more than a tragic accident.
[...]

After delivering the verdict of accidental suffocation, coroner Kim Quick said: 'I would like to caution those that sleep with their infants, that this is an unsafe practice,' according to the Idaho State Journal.

The incidence of sudden death from suffocation among infants quadrupled from 1984 to 2004, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics.

Shit like this left me without a lot of sleep back in the day. I slept with mine on occasion but it was a lite sleep. Anytime I awoke and they stayed asleep, I'd listen for the little sound of baby breath, if I couldn't hear anything I'd get up and hover over their crib, rub their back or something. I never had any close friends who've lost babies to sids (i guess this case is different) but I've heard enough about it.

yeah, i co-slept but id put one in a crib adjoining the bed and lay down with the other there, swapping for feeds every couple of hours. Never when I was medicated or drunk too.
