An investigation is underway after twin toddler boys were found dead from a possible drug overdose inside a South L.A. home on Monday, authorities said.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call from paramedics at 7:50 a.m. Monday reporting two toddlers possibly deceased from an overdose in a residence on the 6600 block of Victoria Avenue, according to a department spokesperson.
Anaie Flores allegedly left fentanyl within reach of her 2-year-old son, who later died of a drug overdose, prosecutors said.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers confirmed that the two boys were dead and questioned an adult man and woman, the spokesperson said. Their deaths are under investigation by the LAPD’s South Bureau Homicide Division and the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.
Two boys, Atlas and Sebastian Carbajal, were listed on the L.A. County medical examiner’s website as dying at a residence Monday at the age of 1. Their cause of death remains under investigation.
