Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A woman and two children were found floating dead in a swimming pool, police revealed yesterday. A worker at the Seymour Leisure Centre in central London discovered the three fully clothed bodies just before 7am.
The post mortem at Westminster mortuary yesterday afternoon revealed that the woman, in her 30s, and the two children, a boy aged between five and seven, and a girl aged three to four, died from drowning.
Police say there were no signs of a break-in or a struggle at the centre, which is operated by Westminster City Council, and it was possible the trio could have been there all night. Officers were still trying to establish how the woman and children came to be there, but said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. The three have not yet been identified.
