Tx. Mom and 2 Young Daughters Found Dead in Parked SUV After Leaving for Playdate

Chambers' sister, Jessica P. issued a statement to KTVT.

"Natalie was hilarious and charismatic and never met a stranger," it reads. "She fiercely loved her girls and was an inspirational mother. I always used to tell her I'm glad she did it (motherhood) first so I can steal parenting tips from her. Izabel and Elise were happy and so very smart and witty. Izabel got her mom's sassiness and Elise got her humor. They were beautiful and perfect. Our hearts are completely shattered."

All three deaths remains under investigation.

Beautiful mommy and precious daughter's.

How absolutely tragic. This does point towards self harm with the statement that she has been in a lot of pain and faced with many obstacles, plus the fact that windows were up. Moo

Waiting to hear any information on cause of death, an utter tragedy regardless

Another possibility is that Natalie may have taken pain medication, or extra that morning, and become very drowsy. Parked, fell asleep, the children 2 and 4 could not wake her, nor get out of the car (child locks?)....leading to too hot car.

Such a tragedy for everyone involved.

Regardless of the cause, this is such a tragedy -- a pretty young mom, and two beautiful little ones. Such sorrow for the families who are mourning them and will be for a long, long time.
Oh, life is so precious.

Hugs to all Websleuthers ​

I'm wondering if the car engine was running. And if the air conditioning was turned on.

Sadly, that makes a lot of sense. Maybe she hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and decided to take a "short nap"; carbon monoxide leak; choked on a breakfast snack; accidentally took too many allergy meds; narcolepsy or sleep apnea; a seizure; unbeknownst food allergy. So many innocent possibilities.

Sadly Forney news is stating that the mom likely overdosed and the girls died from heat exhaustion.

Is there a link for the Forney news?
I checked MSM, and there was nothing newer than 2 days ago -- but I'm here in NC and don't get/can't find any recent local-to-Texas news reports. TIA

A big Thanks, @TinaG!!

And oh, how sad -- no one close who saw them in trouble -- my heart just aches.

 

[whitelilac]

I suspected and was afraid of this. Such a tragic outcome for Natalie and her poor little girls.
I so wish they had been noticed by someone who could have helped early enough to save them.
My condolences to their husband/father and loved ones.
So sad...

Those poor little precious girls!!! How awful for them...My heart is broken.

I apologize if this article has already been posted. I'm trying to catch up from the beginning.

This is terrible. I’m so sad for them

 

[LarkBunting]

Wow...this is even worse than if they’d all died of overdose. Those poor baby girls suffered for hours, then, before they died. They must have been screaming for mommy & beyond terrified. It makes my heart ache to think about.

 

[RobinCAL]

I'm so heartbroken that this is the outcome. It must of been some terrifying last moments.
Thank you for all the updates.

I don't think (hope) it took hours, they would have become first lethargic, and then unconscious quickly from the heat, as it takes only about an hour for the temperature inside a car to reach 116 degrees in the sun.
This Is How Long It Takes a Hot Car to Reach Dangerous Temperatures

According to the police officers in this article, as little as 20 to 30 minutes in a hot car is dangerous for a small child.
This is how many minutes it takes for a hot car to become a death sentence
