A heartbroken dad has told how he desperately tried to revive his wife after finding her unconscious on the bathroom floor as they got ready for the school run. Devoted mum Kasia Czubinska, 44, was found by her husband Graziano Borghese at the family’s Edinburgh home on April 28.
The father of Mya, 16, Giulia, 13, and Antonio, 5, tried to give her chest compressions until the ambulance arrived - but she was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. The grieving widow is now selling his business as the family adapts to life without Kasia.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, he said: “We had a coffee in the morning together like we always do before taking the kids to school, we have two bathrooms so I went to have a shower and Kasia went to get ready. I had my shower and went to check on Kasia and found her in the toilet passed out.
"My daughter had to call the ambulance and we had the phone on speaker with them and I was doing chest compressions until they arrived. Finding her like that was horrific.
"She was still warm and the ambulance was on its way so I thought she would survive but she never woke up." The distraught dad continued: "They think she had a stroke but we are still waiting for the autopsy to come back.
"She had high blood pressure but it was under control and we never expected anything like this to happen." The couple met in Bermuda and were together for 18 years and married for ten before setting up a life together in Leith with their kids.
Remembering his wife Graziano said: "She loved her kids so much, she was so friendly, always smiling and just a happy woman, full of life and very sociable. My kids understand what happened and are still in shock, I don't know what our future will hold now.
"I can't work like I did before
