A mother found dead with her two young children on a Boston sidewalk outside a high-rise parking garage apparently pushed or threw the youngsters from the roof of the structure before leaping to her own death, authorities said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Christmas Day deaths of Erin Pascal, aged 40, her 4-year-old daughter, Allison, and her 16-month-old son, Andrew, are under investigation as a double-murder and suicide, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins told reporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“The evidence suggests” the mother jumped to her death after causing her two children to fall to their deaths, Rollins, who is overseeing the investigation, told a news conference.<\/p>\n

Pascal, her son and daughter were residents of Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood. Authorities have provided no information about Pascal’s marital status or the identity of the children’s father.<\/p>\n

The woman and two children were found lifeless on the pavement at the base of the Renaissance Park Garage on Wednesday afternoon and were pronounced dead at an area hospital a short time later.<\/p>\n
