Regina Lofton, the mother of 13-month-old twins Kimora and Kamari Roberson, was charged late yesterday with felony child endangerment resulting in the death of a child in connection with the girls' deaths Thursday night. The charges came after the Cook County Medical Examiner's office ruled the deaths homicides and concluded the girls died from "hyperthermia, environmental exposure and failure to thrive due to maternal neglect." Each girl was underweight - 13 pounds each - at the time of their deaths.
