A Michigan mother and her two children were found frozen to death over the weekend after the mom experienced a "mental health crisis," a county sheriff said Monday.
Authorities found the sons, ages 9 and 3, and their mother on Sunday in a wooded area of Pontiac, which is around 20 miles northwest of Detroit.
Bouchard confirmed the cause of death was hypothermia, CBS Detroit reported.
A mother who was found dead with two of her three children in Pontiac was suffering from a mental health crisis, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators also found a 10-year-old girl and brought her to a local hospital, where Bouchard said on Monday she was in stable condition.
The girl had knocked on a door and said that her "family was dead in a field," Bouchard said.
Family members attempted to help Cannady before she left with her children, but she refused, Bouchard said. »
