Two young siblings in Florida have died after being found unresponsive in the backseat of a car that had been abandoned along the interstate, just a few feet from where their 42-year-old mother allegedly tried to kill herself by leaping from an overpass onto the train tracks below.

The deceased children have been identified as fraternal 3-year-old twins Milendhet and Milendhere Napoleon-Cadet and their mother has been identified as Shirlene Napoleon Alcime, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

According to a news release from the Miami-Dade Police Department, officers at about 2 a.m. on Friday responded to a call from a passerby who told the emergency dispatcher that they had found two children unresponsive.

“Upon the officers’ arrival, the female that was accompanying the children, jumped over the expressway wall, fell from a considerable height, and landed on the railroad tracks,” police said in the release. “Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded and transported the toddlers to an area hospital and the female to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital in critical condition. Despite their efforts to save them, medical personnel pronounced both children deceased.”

Authorities said that the manner and cause of death for the two children would be determined by a pending autopsy. The mother has not been charged.

Miami-Dade police Detective Andre Martin provided some additional information to Miami CBS affiliate WFOR.
