Miracle Baby Survives 90ft Fall
29 Mar
Summary
- Unborn baby miraculously survived a 90-foot fall.
- She was born prematurely with a fractured tibia and punctured lung.
- Now thriving in the care of her aunt in Leeds.
A baby girl named Posie has remarkably survived a fall of 90 feet, which tragically claimed her mother's life. Born prematurely in October 2024, Posie suffered a fractured tibia and a punctured lung. Her mother, Emma Atkinson, died after falling from the ninth floor of a tower block in Leeds. Medical teams managed to deliver Posie alive, a feat that garnered national attention.
Following a month in intensive care, Posie was placed under the temporary care of her father's family. Ultimately, her paternal aunt, Lauren Mitchell, stepped forward to raise Posie alongside her own daughter. Posie is now officially in Lauren's care at her home in Leeds.
Despite the traumatic events surrounding her birth, Posie is reportedly thriving and shows no lasting ill effects. Her aunt describes her as a happy, healthy, and joyful child. Plans are in place for Posie to be told about her mother when she is older, with her mother's family also welcome to visit.
An inquest into Emma Atkinson's death is pending, with investigations ongoing. While foul play is not suspected, theories suggest the fall may have been an accident or a result of leaning too far out of the window.
