Services Set For South Jersey Twins Who Died Together

LINDENWOLD, NJ — The funeral for twin 7-month-old girls who were found unresponsive in a Lindenwold apartment last week is set for Saturday, April 1, according to an online obituary.

The viewing for the twins, identified in the 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.

No new information has been released in the investigation into the twins’ death eight days ago.

Police were dispatched to the 5100 building of the Pines Apartment Complex on Bilper Avenue around 8 a.m.on Wednesday, March 23, in response to a 911 call. The girls were pronounced dead by Dr. Adrienne Rigueur of Virtua Hospital via telemetry at about 8:30 a.m.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office has not given a timeline as to when results of an autopsy might be available, only saying they would be released at the conclusion of forensic testing.

The mother told a 9-1-1 dispatcher that the babies were found on their stomachs, and that they were purple. A pediatrician previously told Patch it was possible they both rolled over onto their stomachs, but that the chance they died of SIDS, a condition that can cause the sudden death of sleeping infants, was “very unlikely.”

Carbon monoxide poisoning has been ruled out as a factor as well.

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.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the family c/o the Funeral Home would be appreciated.
