The 15-month-old
girls were found in a car parked outside an apartment complex in
Carrollton, Georgia, about 50 miles (80 km) west of Atlanta, the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Bystanders tried to cool the unresponsive infants in a pool
before paramedics rushed them to a hospital, where they were
pronounced dead, the newspaper said.
Police were questioning the father of the twin girls, according
to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Temperatures in the Carrollton area on Thursday reached above 90
degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius), with high humidity.
