Valentina and Penelope Ruiz have been named as the tragic victims who were underwater for an ” undetermined amount of time’ before their devastated dad called emergency services in Arizona
A dad made a heartbreaking discovery after his three-year-old twin girls were found drowned in a home swimming pool.
Valentina and Penelope Ruiz have been named as the tragic victims who were underwater for an " undetermined amount of time' before their devastated dad called emergency services at around 3.30pm on Thursday in Arizona.
The dad, who has not been named, quickly called 911 after pulling their lifeless bodies out of the swimming pool and they were rushed to hospital. Tragically, they were both pronounced dead a short while later.

"Preliminary information suggests that this incident is consistent with an accidental drowning,' Phoenix Police said in a statement on Friday. "At this time, there is nothing that investigators have found that appears suspicious.'
According to Phoenix Fire Captain Rob McDade, the twin's dad discovered his children in the pool. It took firefighters less than three minutes to arrive at the home as they found family members desperately trying to administer CPR.

Aerial shots of the three-bedroom home showed the pool did not have fencing around it. "You can imagine what that would look like, how taxing that would be,' Mr McDade said to local CBS 5 News. 'A tremendous tragic scene.'
Cops confirmed the incident isn’t considered suspicious but their investigation remains ongoing.
The horrific accident comes after a lawyer was arrested after allegedly pulling a gun on three children who were fishing at a lake near his home.
Kyle Tate, a 56-year-old lawyer and Homeowners Association board member in Palm Bay, Florida, was arrested after allegedly brandishing the weapon before confiscating and throwing their fishing equipment into the woods. Tate was charged with grand theft and criminal mischief on April 14 and fined more than £1,000.
The Florida Bar lists Tate as an active attorney practicing at The Tate Law Firm in Orlando. Court documents reveal that he is also a board member of a local Homeowners Association and was arrested last month for reportedly pulling a gun on three kids fishing at a lake in his subdivision, before confiscating their equipment and discarding it in the woods.
The incident unfolded at Stillwater Lakes, a subdivision overseen by an HOA. Court records indicate that the children were fishing on the south side of the lake when Tate confronted them with a firearm, alleging they were trespassing on his property. However, the land in question actually belongs to the HOA, not Tate.
Tate is accused of seizing the fishing rods, reels, tackle boxes, and other equipment from the children, causing damage estimated at around $2,200. He also allegedly took a phone valued at approximately $1,500 from one of the children, which has yet to be recovered.

Australian swimmer Shayna Jack has opened up on her crippling mental health struggles during the fight to clear her name after testing positive to a banned substance four years ago.
The World Championships and Commonwealth Games medallist was one of the rising stars of the pool until her world came crashing down in 2019.
Jack, 24, tested positive to banned muscle-builder Ligandrol, leaving her swimming career and Tokyo Olympics hopes in tatters.
She has now revealed the heartbreaking mental toll it took on her, and how it prompted her to attempt suicide. 
‘I was home alone, I had my dogs there, my partner was at work – and I was done,’ Jack wrote in a News Corp article.
Swimming star Shayna Jack has bravely opened up about her darkest moments
Jack says she went into a spiral of trauma after her baffling drug test result
‘I was done with the process. I was done with life.
‘And boy, did it scare me.
‘Thankfully, my partner came home and he could see just what was going on.
‘I think that was the scariest day of my life and also my partner’s life.’
Jack revealed that the baffling test result tipped her into ‘a spiral of trauma’ and feeling that she did not know how to deal with.
The freestyle star says she was trapped in her emotions while struggling to clear her name. 
‘When my partner came home and found me in the kitchen that fateful day, it was a turning point,’ Jack said.
‘I felt like I was a burden to other people and just better off not being around.
Jack says she felt like a burden on those around her and that she was done with life
She is thankful her partner arrived home and could stop her from going through with it
Jack is now swimming again and encourages others to reach out if they need help
 ‘Having to see people go through pain and believing I was the reason for that, just made me hurt more.
‘But I don’t give up.
‘I know it’s so hard for people to recognise that in their lowest moment – and I’m so grateful that I did.’
Jack started seeing a a psychiatrist and says it’s the ‘best things she ever did’ as they helped her understand why she felt the way she did.
She was found to have reactive depression – and it now made sense to her why she was crying every day.
Jack was allowed to return to the sport in 2021 after a two year ban and an expensive legal battle.
She says she now swims for the people who helped her through her darkest times and encourages others to reach out for help when they need it. 
‘There’s no shame in asking questions or asking for help,’ she says.
‘I wouldn’t be here without other people. I couldn’t have done it alone.’

FRESH pictures have been released as the demolition of the pools in Carlisle continues as part of the railway station ‘gateway’ project. 
The £28million project aims to support the growth of passenger traffic, making the station more user-friendly and accessible, as well as prioritising green transport options.

Cumberland Council has said that the project is ‘steaming ahead’ and has reiterated that the historic Turkish Baths have been separated from the project. 
A spokesperson for Cumberland Council said: “The Pools has been separated from the Turkish baths, as this project will not impact on the Turkish Baths – we are working with ‘The Friends of the Turkish Baths’ to ensure positive outcomes for this building.”
Work is set to continue on the station gateway project into 2025 and is part of a wider regeneration plan for the city centre.
