The New York Post reported that one of the boys had a puncture wound which may have occurred during birth. 

The other had a head injury and a blue string wrapped around his neck, sources told the outlet. 

The babies were rushed to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.

A medical examiner will determine the official causes of death, NYPD Deputy Chief Timothy McCormack said at a press conference. He declined to comment on visible injuries.  

Investigators are searching for video which could show who left the package and when.  

They have not speculated about any potential motive or suspects. The babies' parents are unknown. 

A large police presence was seen outside the building on Monday afternoon in footage from ABC7. 

Police asked anyone with information to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit tips online at nypdcrimestoppers.com.
