## _Police are now investigating the mysterious death of three-year-old twins inside a hot car in the US._

Twins Oliver and Aria Orr were found unresponsive inside a pick up truck�parked 
in their family’s driveway in Bossier City, Louisiana, on Saturday.

Neighbour Rhonda Matthews told�the [Shreveport Times](http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/2016/06/20/investigation-into-toddlers-deaths-still-under-way/86140000/)
�that the twins’ mother,�Alisha Orr, had taken a nap and woke�to find the toddlers
missing. She said Alisha contacted her�for help finding the twins.�Shortly after,
Alisha�found the toddlers�unconscious in the family’s ute about 3pm (local time).
Ms�Matthews said she tried to give them CPR, first to Aria, then Oliver, but was
unsuccessful.

The twins were rushed to hospital, but�were pronounced dead. An autopsy found their
deaths were heat-related.

A�police spokesman at the Bossier City Police Department – where the twins’ father,
Travis Orr, worked – told�[People.com](http://www.people.com/article/hot-car-louisiana-toddler-twins-die-investigation-continues)
�that they had�already launched an�investigation into the tragedy.�”Our investigation
will focus on how the kids ended up in the pickup truck, and whether it was due 
to someone’s actions or was accidental…We’ve yet to determine whether anything occurred
here that could warrant criminal charges,” he said.

Child Protective Services also took part in the investigation, although no signs
of trauma were found on the children,�[the�Shreveport Times�reported](http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/2016/06/20/investigation-into-toddlers-deaths-still-under-way/86140000/).

Three weeks before the twins’ death, the father, Travis, posted on his Facebook 
account that Oliver was admitted to hospital after being attacked by the family’s
dog. He stayed in hospital for five days, receiving treatment.
