A grieving mother has issued a heartbreaking warning after her twin daughters, Kellan and Aurora, died in a tragic accident at home in 2023.<\/p>\n
Sadie Myers shared the story on social media, explaining that she and her husband, Don Starr, had purchased a large cedar chest to store stuffed animals\u2014never imagining it could become deadly.<\/p>\n
One night, after being tucked into bed, the twins apparently woke up and climbed into the chest to snuggle. They removed most of the toys, laid down head-to-toe, and likely said goodnight to each other.<\/p>\n
Tragically, the chest’s heavy lid shut while they were inside. Unbeknownst to many, these old wooden chests can be airtight and soundproof. As they slept, the twins quietly ran out of oxygen and passed away.<\/p>\n
The next morning, one of their siblings found them. \u201cMommy, I found them! They\u2019re so silly just sleeping in the toy box,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sadie recalled, \u201cWithin seconds I knew something wasn\u2019t right. It was already too late\u2026 If you have a chest like this, destroy it immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don later wrote, \u201cI was hoping this was just a nightmare. But it\u2019s real. Please send love and strength to Sadie, our boys, and our family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
