The husband of a woman who died after being struck by a falling tree branch has paid tribute to her, describing her as the “most beautiful woman in the world”. 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 statement issued 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.”
Mr Khan added: “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.”
A joint investigation between Lancashire Police and the Health and Safety Executive has been launched following Mrs Kauser’s death. 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.”
Police are appealing for witnesses, particularly anyone who saw the incident. Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting log 1553 of August 11.
