PERRYVILLE, Md. — A police investigation is underway after a young brother and sister were found dead inside a home in Cecil County Tuesday.

The tragic discovery was made around 1:20pm on Cole Street in Perryville.

Maryland State Police say the children's 12-year-old sister was the first to find them and call 911.

Both kids were alone at the time and lived at the location with their mother, according to police.

They've been identified as 14-year-old Skylar Alice Marie Jones and Gaige Marshall Dehave, 10.

For now detectives are calling their death suspicious.

While an autopsy revealed no abnormalities, investigators are still awaiting toxicology results.

Police say drug paraphernalia was found during a search of the home, but would not speculate if it was a factor in the children's death.
