Madia Kauser, 32, was killed by a falling tree branch in Blackburn - Lancashire Constabulary
A husband has paid tribute to his wife who was killed by a falling tree branch on her way back home from a family day out.
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 released by police, her husband, Wasim Khan said: “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.”
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.”
A spokesman for Blackburn with Darwen Council, which owns the 480-acre park, said the authority was “deeply saddened”.
Denise Park, its chief executive, said: “Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the family and friends of the person who has lost their life at this very difficult time.
“Emergency services, including paramedics and the air ambulance, attended the scene. Council staff also supported by cordoning off the area to ensure public safety. As part of precautionary safety measures, the tree involved was being felled this morning.
“Witton Park is a much-loved community space, and the safety of everyone who visits is of the utmost importance to us.”
