英国38岁孕妇艾玛·阿特金森于2024年10月22日上午10:20从利兹市莎士比亚塔楼九层窗户坠落身亡[1]。当时她已怀孕七个月[1]。医生将其遗体送往医院后立即进行紧急剖腹产手术，婴儿在母亲死亡30分钟后安全出生[1]。
虽然新生儿因坠楼事件遭受创伤，包括肺穿孔和胫骨骨折[1]，但已逐渐康复，目前由家人抚养[1]。现年21个月的孩子保住了生命[1]。
验尸官娜奥米·麦克劳林裁定，阿特金森有意从窗户推动自己坠落，但无法确定其是否存在自杀意图[1]。据其父亲大卫·阿特金森回忆，女儿说了"我要走了"后头先坠了下去[1]。
Emma Atkinson, a 38-year-old pregnant woman, fell to her death from a window at Shakespeare Towers in Leeds on October 22, 2024, while seven months into her pregnancy [1]. The coroner's office determined that Atkinson had deliberately propelled herself from the window, though it could not be established whether she intended to take her own life [1]. Her father, David Atkinson, reported that his daughter said "I'm off" before falling headfirst [1].
Following her death, emergency medical staff at the hospital performed an immediate cesarean section, and the baby was delivered safely approximately 30 minutes after the mother died [1]. The infant sustained injuries from the fall, including a collapsed lung and a fractured shin bone, but has since recovered [1]. The child, now 21 months old, is being raised by family members [1].
