In a heart-wrenching incident, an Oklahoma City family is grappling with the devastating loss of their twin toddlers, a boy, and a girl, who tragically drowned in their family pool. The incident unfolded when their great-grandmother, battling Alzheimer’s, inadvertently left a back door open, leading to the heartbreaking accident.

Jenny Callazzo, a 37-year-old stay-at-home mom and boutique owner, made the heart-wrenching discovery on a Thursday morning when she found her 18-month-old children, Locklyn and Loreli, unconscious at the bottom of the pool. Despite immediate efforts, the tots were pronounced dead two hours later, according to the Daily Mail.

Jenny resides in a $565,000 home with her grandmother, six children, and 42-year-old husband Sonny, a marketing executive. A relative shared with the Daily Mail that the great-grandmother’s oversight in leaving the back door open allowed the twins to slip out unnoticed, leading to the tragic incident.
