Madia Kauser, 32, was hit by a branch as she reportedly pushed her young daughter to safety while they were walking in Witton Park, Blackburn, and now her heartbroken partner has paid tribute
A woman who died after she was hit by a falling tree branch was the “most beautiful woman in the world”, says her heartbroken husband.
Madia Kauser, 32, was walking with her family in Witton Park in Blackburn, Lancashire, on August 11 when she was hit by the branch as she reportedly pushed her young daughter to safety. In a tribute issued by police, her husband Wasim Khan told how she “did everything for our two children” and brought “smiles whenever she entered the room”.
His message read: “My wife, a mother of two, a daughter, sister and a friend we lost to a tragic event that came on the way home from a family day out in the park.
“She was the most beautiful woman in the world, she did everything for our two children, she did everything she could for anyone and would bring smiles whenever she entered the room. She was my comfort, my partner in life and the love of my life.
“We have so many great memories, went through pain together and started a family together. Honestly, I feel completely lost without her and I do not know how to put into words how much I miss her face, her character and her presence. My one and only.”
An appeal has been made for witnesses who saw the tragedy unfold to get in touch with the police. A joint investigation between Lancashire Police and the Health and Safety Executive was launched following Mrs Kauser’s death.
Detective Inspector Iain Czapowski said: “This is an absolutely tragic incident which has cost a young woman her life and my thoughts are with her loved ones.
“We are working closely with our colleagues from the Health and Safety Executive and with the co-operation of the council to try and establish the full circumstances of what happened, and I would like to speak to anyone with information which could assist with that.
“I am especially keen to speak to anyone who actually saw what happened on that fateful night and I would urge them to contact us.” Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting log 1553 of August 11.
Many people took to social media to offer their condolences. “RIP although gone too soon! you saw the danger and saved your child, your child will grow up knowing mummy saved their life and that is the ultimate sacrifice,” wrote one person on Facebook. Another stated: “So sad, heart goes out to the children & family. , we were at the park when this happened, such tragedy.”
