Mum's chilling Google search before jumping from balcony with son in her arms

A mum who calmly looked her partner in the eye as she leapt from a balcony while holding their son had Googled 'easy suicide' before the tragedy.

Raquel Wilkins, 40, died alongside her two-year-old son Denzel Wilkins-Browning after she jumped from a high point of the Petco arena in San Diego, California, on September 29 last year. They fell six storeys from the baseball stadium platform, with US authorities later ruling their deaths as murder-suicide.

However, Raquel's family challenged the ruling, with one eyewitness claiming that they saw the parent nearly lose her balance while standing on a bench. They said she then "again lost her balance and this time, fell over the edge", the Mirror reports.
