She said her husband went to check on the boys' grandmother as she has diabetes. It is believed this is when the boys slipped out to the yard
Arlington Police Department spokesperson Tiara Richard told CBS: 'Early details are that this looks like an accidental drowning involving two young boys.'
Police detectives have spoken with the family and believe the drownings were accidental and that no negligence was involved. The family faces no charges.
