A mother-of-two tragically died after being struck by a falling tree branch while returning home from a family outing, her husband has said.
Madia Kauser, 32, was walking with her family in Witton Park in Blackburn, Lancashire, on 11 August when the incident occurred.
Reports indicate that Kauser pushed her young daughter to safety before being struck.
Lancashire Police and the Health and Safety Executive have launched a joint investigation, urging any witnesses to come forward.
In a statement released by police, her husband, Wasim Khan, described her as the “most beautiful woman in the world” and said he feels “completely lost without her.”
“My wife, a mother-of-two, a daughter, sister and a friend, was lost to a tragic event on the way home from a family day out in the park,” he said.
He added: “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 life partner, 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 described the incident as “absolutely tragic” and expressed his condolences to her loved ones.
He said: “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.”
DI Czapowski added: “I am especially keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened on that fateful day, and I would urge them to contact us.”
