'Amazing' mum-of-four found dead next to daughter, 3, after no show school run

A mum- of-four was tragically discovered dead lying next to her three-year-old daughter after she failed to turn up to pick up her kids from school. Nicole Barnes, 29, who's been described as ''one in a million'' mysteriously passed away in her house in Bootle on October 3, while in the company of her youngest child.

Her partner, Craig Sharnock, was contacted by the school to inform him that Nicole had not picked up the kids, which led to the discovery of the beloved mum's body. The young woman's friend, Gemma, desperately tried to revive her, while paramedics were called out to the home, the Mirror reports.

Heartbroken partner Craig has revealed how he was made redundant from his job only weeks before and was forced to find new work as a trainee carpet fitter. The devoted stay-at-home mother leaves behind four young kids, between the ages of 3 and 10, and Craig is concerned he won't ever be able to get back to work as he needs to care for his five year old son, Tom, who is severely autistic.
