A woman has died after plunging from the tenth floor of a tower block with her three-old twins in her arms.
The 48-year-old was killed instantly and her children were rushed to hospital alive but ‘critically injured’ following the horror incident in Madrid this morning.
Named only as Maria so far, the Spanish mum was said to have bought presents for the youngsters from a nearby shop just hours earlier.
The family had gathered a day earlier to celebrate the children’s birthday.
One of the twins has been admitted to Madrid’s 12 de October University Hospital and the other is in a children’s hospital called the Hospital Infantil Nino Jesus.
Medics are said to have grave concerns the most seriously injured of the two children may not survive.
Their mum lived alone after splitting from her husband.
Locals said she suffered depression and was taking medication.
The apartment block the woman plunged from is in a street called calle Ricardo Ortiz in Ciudad Lineal, a quiet, residential neighbourhood around 30 minutes from Madrid city centre.
A spokesman for the city ambulance service said: ‘We can confirm the death of a woman who plunged from the tenth floor of a block of flats in Ricardo Ortiz.
‘Two children aged three have been taken to different hospitals.
‘National police are conducting an ongoing investigation. Local police and firefighters were also mobilised.’
