Jocelyn Bennett's twin babies were given a touching farewell, after the family switched off their life support machines. Nursery rhymes were playing out a continuous score in the background as they bid their tearful farewell.

Jocelyn, who remains in a coma, will never meet her babies Melody and Rose, after she emerges from her unconscious state, according to Birmingham Mail. The twins died due to oxygen starvation, after her paramedics were locked out of the tower. Their 27-year-old mother dialled 999 for half-an-hour. The babies died of multi-organ failure and lack of oxygen supply to their brain. Jocelyn was found unconscious, according to ITV.

At 1 p.m. on Nov. 4, her partner, Kevin Clarke, 31, cried when the life support machines at Birmingham Women's Hospital were turned off. After the chaplain read out his service, he handed over the babies to the father for the last goodbye.

Jocelyn's dad Joe Bennett, 54, said that it had been too hard on everyone. The babies looked perfectly fine, but they were dead. Later, the girls were supposed to be taken to Jocelyn for a bath, dressing and petting. Even though she was in a coma, they wanted to have her spend time with her daughters for a while.

The authorities confirmed that emergency access should always be accessible. When Jocelyn was 32 weeks pregnant, she dialled 999 due to severe stomach pains. But she could not get up to respond as she was in too much pain when the first response paramedic came and pressed the intercom. None of the flats nearby responded to the buzzer.

Hence, paramedics managed to reach Jocelyn only after the police came and gave access to the tower. She had had a placental abortion, in which her placenta had partially or fully separated from her uterus. Her father Joe said that the system of the block was not working and something had to be done before it repeats in another family. She had to undergo a caesarean, and the babies were born, but died due to multi-organ failure, according to BBC. Council leader Sir Albert Bore expressed sympathy and assured a full investigation, including all the agencies involved.

Other residents too could not be fully blamed when they did not respond, Joe told the Mail. After all, the previous police had raided the tower earlier, so the nearby residents were reluctant to let them in.
