A Hagerstown, Maryland (USA)mother and her two young children were found dead in a car in a parking lot outside Western Heights Middle School late Monday afternoon, according to police.
The 32-year-old mother who was born in Guyana, was in the driver’s seat, reclined as though for a rest. The 18 and six-month-old baby girls were strapped in their car seats in the back of the small silver car – both girls had bottles within reach.
The engine was off and the car was unlocked with all windows closed when horrified staffers at Western Heights Middle School discovered the bodies.
How and why the mother and children died are mysteries tonight, as police do not believe that any violence or outside suspects were involved. Whether the deaths were intentional or accidental are unknown.
Sources said that people reported seeing the small silver sedan at Western Heights Middle School on Monday morning, hours before an employee noticed the bodies inside the closed-up vehicle on a 90-degree afternoon. Also surveillance video from a local Wal-Mart where the 32-year-old worked, showed her buying a DVD player before 6 a.m. Monday. The machine and a receipt were found in the car.
It was also reported that there was no sign of drugs in the woman’s car or in her Hagerstown home, and while police are not yet releasing her name, they mentioned that the woman was an immigrant from Guyana and lived in the apartment across town from where she was found.
Autopsies by the Washington County Medical Examiner will determine how the three died.
It was revealed that the car was in park with the ignition off and the windows up on a 90-degree afternoon. Police indicated there were no obvious signs of violence when they made the discovery of the bodies.
