Infant Twins Died Of Natural Causes, Prosecutor's Office Says

A set of 7-month-old twins who died in their Lindenwold apartment last week died of natural causes, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office confirmed Friday morning.

Camden County Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo said the office won't be releasing the cause of death out of respect for the deceased.

The statements came in an emailed response to Patch after an unnamed source with Ora L. Wooster Funeral Home told nj.com the children died of natural causes.

The medical examiner had checked the box for “natural causes” in paperwork provided to the funeral home in order to obtain the death certificates. He said the cause of death was not SIDS, a condition that can cause the sudden death of sleeping infants.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office previously said autopsy results wouldn’t be available until all forensic tests had been completed.

The twins were found unresponsive at about 8 a.m. on Wednesday, March 22. Police were dispatched to the 5100 building of the Pines Apartment Complex on Bilper Avenue in response to a 911 call from their mother. The girls were pronounced dead by Dr. Adrienne Rigueur of Virtua Hospital via telemetry at about 8:30 a.m.

The viewing for the twins, identified in an online obituary as Jessenia and Juliana Rodriguez-Garnett, is scheduled for Saturday, April 1, 11 a.m.-noon at the Ora L. Wooster Funeral Home, 51 Park Boulevard in Clementon. The funeral follows at noon.

The obituary lists the twins as the beloved daughters of Alexandria Garnett and Daniel Rodriguez. They had four siblings. They are also survived by three grandparents, aunts, uncles and many loving family and friends.
