2 homeless children freeze to death while sleeping in van with family in Detroit: police

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said the mother of the children had reached out to homeless services in November

Police in Detroit said that two homeless children froze to death while they slept in a van with their family on Monday, while the city’s mayor revealed that their mother had reached out to homeless services a few months ago.

The two children, a 2-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, died Monday after the family pulled into the Greektown Casino and parked on the ninth floor to sleep, police said.

Seven family members were living in the van: the two children, their two siblings and their mother, along with their grandmother and the grandmother's child, were living in the van, according to the Detroit Police Department.
