Two girls under the age of five were found dead outside of a home, and police still don't know what happened to them.

The girls, who are sisters, were discovered outside a residence by their mother near Kearney, Missouri on Wednesday.

Authorities said the mother found her daughters not breathing and unresponsive. She picked them up and ran to a neighbor's house for help around noon.

The children, who were discovered near the Missouri 92 Highway, passed away when paramedics arrived. 

There were no signs of injury on the children and they were not found near any bodies of water, causing authorities to rule out death by drowning. 

Authorities said the deaths were also not related to firearms or 'road-related issues'. 

The Clay County Sheriff's Office does not suspect foul play but is still investigating the mysterious deaths, according to KCTV5. 

Authorities said the mother found her daughters not breathing and unresponsive. The girls' deaths are still being investigated but foul play is not suspected

Authorities said the mother found her daughters not breathing and unresponsive. The girls' deaths are still being investigated but foul play is not suspected 

'We are going to treat this investigation with the utmost priority to try to get those answers,' Captain Will Akin told the station. 

'Not only for everyone who is watching right now, but also for the family. They need closure as well.'

'I can only imagine what it is like for any parent to lose two children, let alone one, is nothing more than tragic,' he added. 

A medical examiner has not yet determined the exact cause of deaths.

Heat stroke? Snake bite? How awful.

This is seems very strange. I would think a snake bite would be readily apparent. Heat stroke seems possible, but we used to run outside all the time in all kinds of weather, are humans just more susceptible to weather now?
Maybe they ate some poison berries? But, still wouldn't there be some signs like rash or swelling?

You would think, but who knows.

I know I'm a lot more wimpy about the heat. I grew up without A/C in So. Cal until about high school, and managed just fine. But when I bought a house without when I was in my early 20's, I passed out. I was still young, so I can't blame it on age. Although based on the photo it doesn't look like the girls were living in luxury, they still may have had A/C. I think living in a climate controlled environment, we (general we) forget precautions that need to be taken when we are exposed to severe weather.

It has been in the above 90 her in Missouri plus high humidity, also if they live in a trailer with inadequate air cooling it's like a oven inside so it's possible that the girls could have heat stroke.

I'm thinking some kind of poison.

My little brother and sister had to be hospitalized as kids because they got into and ate an entire bottle of Flintstones vitamins and got iron poisoning. There were no outward signs of anything - my stepmother just caught them eating the vitamins and took them to the hospital.

Assuming there are going to be autopsies here and, hopefully, the cause of death will be determined....

If the cause is still not determined from an autopsy, that starts to get really scary since no one will know what to do to prevent a recurrence....

I hate to say it, but I won't be surprised if it turns out to be foul play.

 I agree. I just read that girls were 2 years old and 7 weeks old. Like wth we're they doing outside alone to begin with?
