Pictured: London-based mother, 51, who died alongside her husband in a hot tub while on holiday in Spain - before being found dead by their children

A London-based mother, Thomasina Tobin, 51, and her husband, Patrick Tobin, 48, died in a hot tub accident in Spain. The couple was found by their two teenage sons, aged 14 and 16, who had special needs, at a luxury villa in Cullera, Valencia. Spanish police believe they died due to suction entrapment, where a powerful vacuum pulls a person underwater. Post-mortem examinations ruled out foul play, and no signs of forced entry were found. Investigators noted suction marks on the couple’s bodies, with more pronounced marks on the husband, suggesting he was pulled under first. The wife may have attempted to rescue him, leading to her death. Both bodies were found partially outside the hot tub, supporting the theory she managed to free her husband before succumbing herself.
