The San Diego County Sheriff's Office said in a statement
that the fetuses, both of them at least 20-weeks-old and fully
formed, were discovered on Friday afternoon in the city of
Fallbrook.
"Each fetus had its own umbilical cord, which were both still
attached to one placenta," the statement said.
The Los Angeles Times newspaper said the fetuses were first
discovered by a resident who initially believed they were dolls.
The local medical examiner's office will conduct an autopsy to
determine the exact cause of death, the statement said.
Further details were not immediately available.
