A Florida mother found dead alongside her 3-year-old twins, killed her children before taking her own life.
Olivia and Adam’s official cause of death was methamphetamine toxicity and their deaths have been ruled homicides, the medical examiners ruled in the two autopsies for the twins.
The family was found in a car that was parked in a Melbourne, Florida, parking lot on March 20 just after 11:00 p.m. local time. The autopsy was performed two days later.
“It’s a really difficult time,” Andrea’s father, Randy Langhorst, previouslytold PEOPLE. “We’re just playing the waiting game to get closure on it, to see what exactly happened.”

Randy said at the time that the family hoped autopsy and toxicology results from the Brevard County Medical Examiner’s Office would give them “closure” into the circumstances of Andrea’s and the twins' deaths. He added that the only information he had was that investigators believe all three died around the same time.

“I just know they were in the car in the heat of Florida for a few days,” he explained. “We didn’t have to identify the bodies, the police were able to do it with the photographs we gave them. I can’t imagine myself or my ex-wife having to do that.”

“Before I speculate anything, I just want to wait until we hear all the authorities have to say about her cause of death, and then our family can be at peace a little more, knowing what happened,” Langhorst said, adding that they wanted to cremate Andrea and her children.
After their death, he started aGoFundMeto provide their relatives with “grief support services.”
