In Oklahoma City, a tragedy unfolded that has left an entire family shattered. Twin toddlers, just 18 months old—a boy and a girl named Locklyn and Loreli—were found lifeless in their backyard pool.
The devastating incident occurred when their great-grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, accidentally left the back door of their home open. It was a mistake no one could have foreseen but one that changed everything in an instant.
Their mother, Jenny Callazzo, a stay-at-home mom and boutique owner, discovered her babies at the bottom of the pool. She tried everything she could to save them, but despite immediate efforts by emergency responders, the twins were pronounced dead two hours later.
The Callazzo family lives in a spacious home valued at $565,000. That home, filled with love and laughter, now feels unbearably quiet. On the day of the accident, Jenny’s husband, Sonny—a 42-year-old marketing executive—was also home, along with their great-grandmother and six other children.
Authorities have ruled out foul play, describing the twins’ deaths as a tragic accident. Local news reports revealed a pool covered in green algae, a chilling detail that adds to the heartbreak. Just days before, Jenny had posted a sweet photo of the twins playing outside, blissfully unaware of the impending tragedy.
Neighbors described Jenny’s anguish as she stood by the ambulance, watching paramedics fight to save her children. A GoFundMe campaign has since been launched to help the family with medical and end-of-life expenses, as they face not only emotional devastation but also overwhelming financial challenges.
Experts, like Laura Gamino from OU Health, have used this tragedy to highlight the silent dangers of water for young children. She stressed the importance of securing pools with fences and urged parents to stay vigilant, reminding everyone that drowning often happens quickly and quietly.
This heartbreaking story is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be. As the Callazzo family mourns their unimaginable loss, our thoughts are with them.
Let’s honor Locklyn and Loreli by spreading awareness about water safety. Share this story with friends and family—it might just save a life.
