Toxicology tests will be conducted with autopsies.A girl, 6, and two boys, ages 5 and 1, were found dead in a bed wearing their night clothes after their mother called police early Sunday claiming she had killed them.When officers arrived, she repeated the murder claim and jumped out a second-floor window of the building in a poor section of New Cassel on Long Island.
