These twins drowned in their home swimming pool, details of the incident
According to a recent news report, «two infant twins drowned in a pool at their family’s estate when their Alzheimer’s-affected great-grandmother left a door open.» On Thursday, the tragic incident occurred at Jenny and Sonny Callazzo’s $565,000 home in Oklahoma City.
Jenny, a stay-at-home mother who owns a bow shop, discovered Locklyn and Loreli Callazzo in the murky pool water. Firefighters who arrived on the scene performed CPR on the infants, but they were pronounced dead at the hospital.
The infants’ great-grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s, left the back door open, allowing the twins access to the pool, according to a family member. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist the family in covering the costs incurred as a result of the accident.
The incident is being investigated by authorities, but it does not appear to be criminal in nature. The pool was filled with dark green water due to thick algae, according to video footage taken from above the house.
According to a child safety specialist, the children’s deaths were «heartbreaking,» and parents should take precautions to protect their families.
According to the specialist, drowning happens quickly and quietly, so pool owners should erect a four-foot-high fence around it with a gate that small children cannot open.
«Children are drawn to water, and toddlers lack the abilities to help themselves out,» she added.
