Two children who appeared to have frozen to death while living in a van in Detroit last month actually died of carbon monoxide toxicity, officials say.
The causes of death for 2-year-old A’millah Currie and 9-year-old Darnell Currie Jr. were certified on Wednesday and deemed to be the toxicity and an accident, according to a release from the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office.
On Feb. 10, the children’s family was parked at the Hollywood Casino at Greektown when their car stopped running in the middle of the night, officials have previously said. Darnell Currie Jr. and A’millah Currie later stopped breathing and died.
The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office previously said the investigation into the official cause of death could take several months.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
