Hospital pharmacy made blood thinner error

McALLEN, TX Two of the infants, a twin brother and sister, named Keith and Kaylynn Garcia, have died this week, though the hospital said its physicians have found no direct links between the overdose of heparin and the deaths.

Earlier this week, the hospital announced two pharmacy employees had taken voluntary leave while the investigation proceeded.

Hospital officials say autopsies are being conducted on both of the Garcia infants and the Texas Department of State Health Services is conducting a review
