The 5-year-old twins who were found lifeless in their mother’s bed in the family’s Bronx apartment last December were smothered to death, according to the city’s medical examiner.
The deaths of the children, a boy and a girl, have been ruled homicides, said Julie Bolcer, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office.
So far, no arrests have been made, a police spokeswoman said on Thursday.
The twins’ deaths had puzzled the authorities for nearly three months.
Initial autopsies were performed, but they required further study, according to Ms. Bolcer.
