Emma Atkinson, who was in her late 30s, died after plunging from the 17th floor of a tower block in Leeds, West Yorkshire Police said
A heavily pregnant mum of five who died falling from a tower block in Leeds shared a heartbreaking final Facebook post just a month earlier.
Tributes have also flooded in on social media for Emma, affectionately known as Emma Acko, with heartbroken friends and family describing her as a "beautiful soul". Sarah Whapham commented on Facebook: "A call I was not expecting this morning has left us in complete shock. Emma you had the biggest personality and the biggest heart. My beautiful cousin rest peacefully."
Councillor Luke Farley described the event as "deeply distressing" and conveyed his and his Labour colleagues' heartfelt sympathies, stating: "we pass on our sincere condolences to the loved ones of the person who has died". Meanwhile, West Yorkshire Police earlier confirmed they were summoned by the ambulance service to Burmantofts at approximately 10.30am on Tuesday, and said there were not "suspicious circumstances" related to the incident.
