Written by A 10-month-old girl has died along with two other people after a tree toppled during an Easter egg hunt in northern Germany, police say. The 100-foot tree fell on four people participating in the event on Sunday morning in woods near the town of Satrupholm. The baby girl died in hospital, while her 21-year-old mother died at the scene as she was being treated by first responders, as did another 16-year-old girl. An 18-year-old woman suffered serious injuries and was brought to the hospital by helicopter. The incident took place as around 50 people from a nearby residential facility for new mothers, pregnant women and children hunted for eggs in the area, which had been under a high winds warning from the German weather service. Grief counsellors were sent to the scene, where pictures published by the Bild news site showed several Easter eggs scattered on the ground and two of the victims covered in white sheets.
A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
