Newborn twins drowned in their own blood after mum ‘did cocaine and ecstasy while pregnant’ as she’s charged with murder
A PAIR of newborn twins drowned in their own blood after their mum allegedly went on a coke and ecstasy binge while pregnant.
The unnamed youngsters died after just two days outside the womb when Tiffany Roberts, 29, gave birth to them on Saturday.
Both tots tested positive for cocaine after being born, according to Tennessee paper Times-Press.
Roberts, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, allegedly fell short of breath after taking MDMA on Saturday.
She was rushed to hospital, where docs prepared her for emergency labour – even though she had been pregnant for just 23 weeks.
Sharing a photo of the newborns, she wrote: “Bless these beautiful babies girls came early but they gonna be strong.”
But the twins died on Tuesday after a brave battle against internal haemorrhaging.
