Mother’s Fall, Baby’s Miracle | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A mother’s final act: Emma Atkinson, 38, fell from the ninth floor of a Leeds tower block, dying instantly—but her baby daughter Posie was born alive just 30 minutes later in the hospital. Despite police finding no signs of distress and CCTV showing her calmly opening the window, family insists she wouldn’t harm herself, describing her as a joyful, anxious mom eagerly awaiting her child’s arrival. Paramedics performed CPR en route to save both lives, and while doctors called Posie’s recovery miraculous, the coroner ruled it a deliberate act—though an open verdict acknowledged the mystery behind her final choice. A devastating loss with a miracle of life clinging on. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
