    Four Children Orphaned After Parents Die 24hrs Apart

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...accidents.html

    God this is just so heartbreakingly sad- sounding like Pa commited suicide after Ma's death plunge. Lord knows how the children even begin to move forward

    Maybe the kids did it.

    There's an ongoing investigation....maybe there were extenuating circumstances?

    There is just something that doesn't make sense about this.....
    I hate to say it, but maybe the kids had a hand in it.....

    Yeah I'm wondering if the New Zealand stuff isn't masking some issues? I highly doubt the kids had anything to do with it

    Erm kids have lost their parents! Bet they'd give all the money and education back in an instant to have them back!

    I've been on two 'lavish' hols this year, that doesn't make me rich!

    How does one fall from a balcony?

    I'm assuming the high end hotels where they stayed had railings.

    Not only that, but they were lower levels too. I mean, I get that people can fall from a short distance and die, but it just seems so strange. I agree that something is just not right.

    The whole thing is strange. I wonder if the sons were present at the time and heard or saw anything either time.

    Surely no one would kill themselves in a strange place, leaving their kids alone with no one around.

    That's what I figured. Clearly he was pretty deranged with grief. He wouldn't have been thinking straight....

    Bless those poor boys

    The second floor balcony in the pic doesn't look very high.

    Doesn't have to be high if she lands in an unfortunate position

    On the face of it, sounds like the dad acted upon the "I can't live without you" impulse, and jumped.

    Still, there should be an investigation of some sort. If there were money problems, it could point to a suicide pact. Hope not, because that would invalidate insurance and possibly leave the sons impoverished.

    He may have jumped due to grief or he may have jumped due to guilt if he had something to do with his wife's death. Either way, it was very selfish on his part to leave his children with no parents and in a strange place. Did he not care what would happen to them?

    If he was in such a state he wouldn't be in any condition to consider the impact on the kids. Suicidal folk don't think that way cos they're largely incapable

    I believe this thread is headed to Police Blotter ...

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...th-plunge.html

    Screams heard, photos of what they call the, "balcony," which is actually a window guard.

    And, if the father was under suspicion, murder followed by suicide.

    That's the first thing to make sense.

    I put it in this forum cos at the time I posted it a few days ago there was no suggestion of it being anything other than an accident/suicide

    Oh it is amongst the country set in England. Especially those who haven't the guts to defy the hunting ban. They need to do SOMETHING with their weekends!

    There is one claim she was reaching out the window yelling at those celebrating Ramadan, and the wood gave way.

    The statement was made by the hotel owner ...

    (Daily Mail can be an interesting read but reliable to the same extent as TMZ and Radar ... hitting the truth meter 50% of the time)

    Yelling at those celebrating Ramadan?!!!!! Why in the name of all that is Holy would she do that? I can buy that the wood gave way- shit happens- but surely it would be more accurate and respectful to say that she was watching the celebrations?

    I read she was trying to shush them. No one likes to be the shusher.

    Daily Mail Online ... 9/3/11 ...

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...mb-deaths.html

    Now, police have been trying to establish exactly how their parents met their deaths. It is a task made all the more difficult because of the tide of confusion surrounding the case.

    Initially, at least, it seemed unclear.
