3 children of a Nigerian woman spend 3 days next to their mother's corpse

Three children - aged 5, 10 and 11 - spent days next to their mother's body - unaware that she had died - with no food or water before being rescued by police in Spain.
They told passers-by they couldn't understand what was wrong with their mother when they went looking for help in the street because she was in bed and 'wouldn't open her eyes.'

They were described as being barely dressed when they were found. The youngest child fainted as he was being assisted by neighbours who realised they were in trouble and gave them juice and water and something to eat.
Police found their mum's body after entering into their home in the Majorcan, Palma, on Tuesday. A post-mortem is expected to confirm the unnamed woman died of natural causes.
The children, two boys and a girl, were taken to hospital for a check-up before being taken into local authority care after the authorities were unable to find any trace of their father.
