A father tossed his two children off a multi-storey parking garage before killing himself in a horrific murder- suicide police described as ‘no accident’.

Patrick Lynch, 42, his son James, 8, and daughter Caroline, 6, were found in the affluent Pittsburgh suburb of Mt Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon, Penn Live reported.

CBS reported on a Facebook post written by the children’s mother, Anna Lynch.

She claimed that her husband had been made redundant in August and had become depressed. But he agreed to see a therapist and had an appointment booked for Wednesday- the day after he took their children to the garage.

Her heartbreaking post added: ‘Rest in peace my angels. James may you ski all the bowls and Caroline may you eat all the skittles and play in your own castle made of slime. Best friends forever.’

A GoFundMe set up for the mother, said: ‘Last night, these 2 beautiful, perfect children lost their lives in the most unimaginable way.

‘No mother should ever have to experience this kind of pain. Especially Anna, who devoted her life to her family and to the community.

‘To know her is to love her. Nothing I write here will bring her babies back and give her any sense of justice or peace. If we, her family and friends, can ease the financial burden of having to bury her children and her husband, it would be a relief.’

First responders tried to administer CPR at the scene but all three were declared dead at the scene from injuries suffered in an ‘apparent fall,’ the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

‘Preliminary information suggests that this incident is a murder-suicide,’ the county police department confirmed.

‘Everybody in the Mt. Lebanon community will know somebody involved in this incident,’ Haberman added.

‘We really want to send our condolences.’
