BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- New York police, investigating the deaths of 3-month-old twin boys in Brooklyn, are testing a soy milk mixture fed to the babies before their nap.
The babies died Thursday, reports the New York Post. Their 21-year-old mother frantically called 911 after she couldn't rouse her sons, the report said.
Neighbors said she ran out on the street with one child in her arms, wailing, "The baby's not moving! Not breathing!"
The cause of death has not been determined and is pending results of an autopsy.
Police questioned the parents and said the babies showed no signs of abuse. The soymilk mixture has been taken to a laboratory for testing. They also removed stocks of the soy milk and the cornmeal mixture from two nearby stores as a precaution.
The New York Daily News quoted police sources as saying the infants may have suffered food poisoning. The twins' 2-year-old brother was not harmed.
