During a press conference on Thursday afternoon, District Attorney Rachael Rollins revealed that the deaths of a mother and two children on Christmas were a double homicide/suicide.  

Erin Pascal, 40, of West Roxbury, leapt to her death after her two children, Allison, 4, and Andrew, 15 months, fell from the top of a garage near Ruggles Station.

The victims were found unconscious around 1:30pm on Wednesday.  According to Rollins these were the third, fourth and fifth suicide-related deaths at the garage this year.  The garage is owned by Northeastern University.
