Twin 3-year-olds died Sunday afternoon after being shut inside a parked car for more than two hours in the Montara area just south of Topeka, officials said.
The twins, a boy and a girl, were last seen about 1 p.m. and were reported missing about 1:40 p.m., officials said.

Law enforcement officials survey where 3-year-old twins were found inside a car in the Montara neighborhood. Both toddlers died.
The children were discovered about 3:15 p.m. inside a silver, four-door Daewoo Leganza car parked in the driveway of their home, a one-story beige residence with brown trim at 6801 S.W. Windsong.
Shawnee County sheriff's Sgt. Akim Reynolds said the boy was found in the front seat of the car. The girl was found in the back seat.
Sheriff's deputies performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on both children before emergency medical responders arrived on the scene.
The girl was pronounced dead at the scene. The boy was taken by American Medical Response ambulance to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Reynolds said the doors to the car were unlocked.
The deputies who located the children were "very distraught" afterward, Reynolds said.
The temperature between 1 and 4 p.m. held steady at an unseasonably cool 77 degrees.
However, Reynolds said, the temperature inside a car with its windows up can be 30 to 40 degrees higher than the outdoor air temperature, meaning the vehicle's interior could have approached 115 degrees.
"The officer who opened the door said it was very hot inside the car," Reynolds said.
Deputies responding to the report of the missing twins conducted a search in the immediate area of the children's house and in the surrounding neighborhood.
One resident who lives nearby said he saw a sheriff's deputy and another officer checking his above-ground swimming pool about 2 p.m., looking for the missing children.
The sheriff's office enlisted the assistance of a Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter before the twins were found inside the car.
After the children were found, deputies placed yellow crime-scene tape around the front — or east side — of the house, including the driveway where the car was parked.
A motorboat with a tarp was parked immediately north of the car in a grassy area adjacent to the driveway.
No foul play is suspected, though the mother was being questioned by detectives, Reynolds said.
The child's father, whom Reynolds said worked out of town, had been notified and was returning to Topeka.
The sheriff's Crime Scene Investigation Unit was at the scene and was photographing the interior of the car through its closed windows.
Autopsies are to be performed on the children, and the case remains under investigation.
