In a heartbreaking tragedy, twin toddlers Ariel and Avery were discovered lifeless inside a sweltering car in Norman, Oklahoma. According to reports, a family member had unintentionally forgotten to drop them off at their daycare center.
It was around 3pm on Thursday when the police were called to the scene on W Brooks Street after receiving a welfare check. Upon arrival, they found two-year-olds Ariel and Avery inside the vehicle and sadly, they were pronounced dead. The Norman Police Department stated that the initial investigation revealed the children had been accidentally left in the car for a long period of time before being discovered by their family.
A photo of the twins being carried by their father, Marshall Suter, showed them with pacifiers still in their mouths. It was later revealed that the parents had entrusted a family member to take their children to daycare, but unfortunately, they had forgotten. A family member spoke to KFOR and expressed their devastation, especially in light of hateful comments being made. They hoped that this tragedy would help people understand that it was not intentional, but a terrible accident.
The temperature that day had exceeded 90 degrees Fahrenheit, making it incredibly dangerous for anyone, especially young children, to be left in a hot car. As the investigation continues, the medical examiner will determine the cause of death for Ariel and Avery.
A GoFundMe page was set up by Kourtnee Usey, who is a cousin of the twins' father, to help with funeral expenses and ease the financial burden on the family. She shared that Marshall had received the most devastating news a parent could ever receive. The page has already raised over $4,800, a testament to the community's support and sympathy for the family during this difficult time.
Sadly, this tragedy is not an isolated incident. Just over a month ago, a 14-month-old girl also died in a hot car after her grandmother forgot to drop her off at daycare and went to work in Smithtown, Long Island, New York. It serves as a reminder of the danger of leaving children unattended in a hot car. According to Kids and Car Safety, there have been 31 reported deaths of children in hot cars so far this year.
Ariel and Avery were only two years old when they lost their lives in a hot car. Let us all keep them and their family in our thoughts and prayers, and remind ourselves to always be vigilant and cautious when it comes to the safety of our children.
