A 32-year-old mom of two is being remembered for her final selfless act after she pushed her young daughter out of the way before she was fatally struck by a tree branch in an English park.

On Monday, Aug. 11, Madia Kauser and her husband, Wasim Khan, were walking with their 9-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter in Witton Country Park in Blackburn, Lancashire. Khan and the young boy were ahead, while the mom and daughter walked behind them, when the branch fell, fatally striking Kauser, the BBC, LancsLive and The Sun reported.

Kauser had been pushing her daughter in a stroller when the large tree branch came down in their direction. The young mom managed to get her daughter out of the way before she was hit, according to LancsLive.

Her husband told The Sun he was playing soccer with their son when the incident occurred. Khan said that they were chasing after the ball when he heard a "crack." The tree came down, even though there was "no wind" blowing, according to the outlet.

"I rushed to her," Khan told The Sun. "I tried to save her, she was still breathing."

A spokesperson for the Lancashire Police tells PEOPLE that first responders arrived at the park on Preston Old Road on Monday at 8:33 p.m. local time after receiving reports that a woman had been hit by a falling tree branch.

"Emergency services attended and found the woman unresponsive," according to police, who did not identify the victim. "Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, she was tragically pronounced dead at the scene."

The woman's death is not being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for His Majesty's Coroner at a later date.

The Lancashire County Council Coroner's Office confirms to PEOPLE that an inquest into Kauser's death will be opened on Thursday, Aug. 21.

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, which owns the park, said that the family was "being supported and our thoughts remain with them," in a statement posted on Facebook.

"We are gathering the facts working with colleagues from the police and the Health and Safety Executive," the council said of the incident. "In line with the law, the coroner's inquest is where the full circumstances will be considered and findings of the independent investigations will be heard."

As Kauser's family reels from the tragic accident, she's being remembered as a loving mother.

Her great-uncle, Zamir Khan, told the BBC that she was a "very caring mum who died saving her daughter."

"She was very kind-hearted and would go out of her way for anyone," he continued, according to the outlet. "We are all devastated."

Kauser's grieving husband told The Sun that "she was the most beautiful and loyal person you would ever wish to meet."

"She was loved by many but especially her children," said Khan, according to the paper. "We are left here without her."
