STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Staten Island woman, whose negligence authorities alleged led to the death of two young children in a Brooklyn car accident, died Tuesday of an apparent suicide, according to police.

Dorothy Bruns, 44, was found with a pill bottle and an apparent suicide note inside her home, according to a spokesman for the NYPD.

Her last known address was in Concord.

Authorities charged Bruns with multiple counts that included manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, after she allegedly killed Joshua Lew, 1, and Abigail Blumenstein, 4, on March 5 after running through an intersection in Park Slope despite doctors ordering her off the road due to her medical condition.

She initially told police she had suffered a seizure at the time of the crash, and witnesses alleged Bruns' head was hanging back as she drove a 2016 Volvo S60 sedan through the intersection.

Both children’s mothers were also injured in the March 5 incident, and one of the woman eventually lost her unborn child as a result of her injuries.
