Moving tributes to mum who fell to her death from balcony

A wall of tributes have been left at the scene where a tragic mum-of-three fell to her death from a balcony.

Claire Sanders died shortly before 9pm on Thursday, April 2, when she fell from a high floor at her home in Quarry Green Heights in Kirkby.

Paramedics, fire crews and police officers were called to the incident as neighbours tried to save Claire's life but she died a short time later.

The death was not believed to have been suspicious and Claire's family were notified by police.
