After two children died of apparent hypothermia in a vehicle in a Detroit casino parking lot this week, their father is now sharing his story with 7 News Detroit.


Darnell Currie Sr. wiped away tears while talking with me about his children, Darnell Jr. and Amelia.


He recalls the distressing phone call he says he took from their mother, Tateona Williams, on Monday.

"I went to the gym. As soon as I got on a treadmill, she called saying 'can I make it to the hospital right now. They gone,'" said Darnell. "I was hoping it was a sick joke, but it wasn't."

Extended interview: Father of 2 kids who died from apparent hypothermia shares story


According to Detroit police, 9-year-old Darnell Jr. And 2-year-old Amelia died while sleeping in a vehicle at the Hollywood Casino at Greektown parking garage.

Investigators say the cause appears to be hypothermia, a tragedy stemming from homelessness.

"I tried. I asked for help. Even people out of state," said Tateona Williams, the childrens' mother. I asked Darnell if she reached out to any of his family about the situation.

"No, she did not. He says the last time he held his children was a month or two ago, and that they typically Facetime. Moments he says he will miss.

I asked him what he would like to see following the police investigation.

"It don't even matter to me. Can't get them back, so it's whatever," he said" - ABC 7 |
