Bodies of Thomasina Tobin and her husband Patrick were found by their children in a rented villa in Cullera near Valencia
Bodies of Thomasina Tobin and her husband Patrick were found by their children in a rented villa in Cullera near Valencia Autopsies have been carried out on Thomasina Tobin and her husband Patrick although the results have not been made public.
, died on Tuesday in a rented villa in Cullera, near the city of Valencia. The couple’s teenage children found their bodies and raised the alarm. The homicide unit of the civil guard has been investigating the deaths, although murder was just one of several theories it was working with. The autopsy has been carried out although its results have not been made public.
However, sources close to the investigation told The Irish Times that the indications were that the deaths were accidental. The possibility that there was foul play appeared to be ruled out by the fact that there was no sign of a forced entry in the villa.

Her partner, according to this scenario, may have tried to help her get out of the hot tub but while doing so suffered another accident, possibly an electric shock, an inhalation of toxic fumes, or a medical problem.
Puncture marks were found on the skin of at least one of the bodies. These could have been caused when Patrick Tobin attempted to save his wife, according to the theory reported by Las Provincias. Investigators have tested water from the hot tub and checked its suction system, as well as searching the house and reviewing security camera footage. Investigators are now awaiting the results of a toxicology report which they hope will help clarify further what happened.
Thomasina Tobin was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and had worked as a chartered quantity surveyor in London for the last 20 years. At the time of her death, she was a senior executive working for a project management consultancy firm in the construction industry.
