A young mum has died shielding her baby from a falling coconut tree that struck their bedroom during a tornado.
Norelyn Nortal, 21, was lying next to the three-month-old baby girl and putting her to sleep while violent winds struck their wooden house in the coastal town of Dinas in Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines, on October 2.
The mother and daughter were at home while Ms Nortal's husband Roberts Nortal, 25, was away for work in the provincial capital Pagadian City.
