Their cause of death has not been released. Speaking in Haitian Creole, their father, Milson Caldet, said he is devastated.
?I really loved my kids,? he said, speaking through a family member.
According to authorities, at some point, their mother, identified by family and friends as Shirlene Alcime, jumped from the overpass onto the train tracks below.
Despite the considerable fall, Alcime survived and was transported to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, where she is listed in critical condition.
Caldet said he didn?t know what happened and said he had been trying to get hold of Alcime for days.
Alcime?s friend, Suzette Walker Morant, said she couldn?t imagine her hurting the children or trying to take her own life.
