For all the latest news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US Sadie Myers wrote: "Not many will know the pain of losing two children at the same time and losing them in a way that makes no sense..." The unimaginable tragedy occurred last Friday, September 1, at night when the mother was at work, and her husband, identified as Don Starr, was responsible for putting their two older boys and the twins to bed. The twins, known affectionately as "kell kell" and "sissy," woke up during the night and decided to play in their room, a common occurrence according to their mother. However, this time, the twins chose an unusual place to snuggle up and fall asleep - inside a wooden cedar toy chest used to store their stuffed animals. The mother explained that the twins must have moved or kicked during their sleep, inadvertently causing the lid of the toy chest to close. She was unaware like many others might be, that most wooden toy chests become airtight and soundproof when closed. Tragically, as the twins slept peacefully, they slowly ran out of oxygen over the course of a few hours, ultimately leading to their untimely passing. There was no sudden gasp for air; it was a quiet and gradual transition from sleep to a tragic end. When the mother return){kind=link}
