Two children in Detroit died from suspected exposure to the cold after being found unresponsive in a van where their family was living. The children, ages 2 and 9, were discovered not breathing by their mother at around noon. The mother had parked the van at a casino parking garage, and it ran out of gas. The temperature in Detroit was around 12 degrees with wind chills of 6 degrees. The mother realized one child was not breathing and called a family member to take the child to a hospital. She then realized another child was not breathing and both children were taken to Children’s Hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Three other children survived. Detroit police are conducting an open investigation into the tragic incident. Police Captain Nathan Duda emphasized the need for resources like shelters and urged people to call 911 if they see others in need during the cold. Duda expressed his sadness for the family’s loss and emphasized the importance of helping those in need during extreme weather conditions.
