'Thirteen-month-old twins Kimora and Kamari Roberson were underweight and overheated when they died in their Far South Side home, officials said on Friday.

The sisters, who each weighed only about 13 pounds, died of hyperthermia, environmental exposure and failure to thrive due to maternal neglect, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

The deaths were ruled homicides, and the babies' mother, Regina Lofton, 21, was charged on Friday with felony child endangerment resulting in the death of a child.'
