A grieving family is sharing the final “happy” photo of a three-year-old girl who was killed just a matter of minutes after the photo was taken as the family enjoyed a countryside walk

A TikTok user has attracted significant attention for sharing the heartbreaking final moments of her daughter’s life, captured on camera by her mother just before the tragic incident.

Samantha Jensen revealed that her daughter, Scarlett, who ‘loved horses, unicorns, and being a big sister,’ is now remembered in a bittersweet way due to a photo taken just before her passing.

Until weeks later, the poignant image was not discovered and Jensen now feels an immense sense of gratitude for it.

In her TikTok post, she shared: “My mom took this picture at 4:47 pm and my daughter’s time of death was 4:52. My mom didn’t know she was capturing the last moments of her life. This one is really hard for me to look at, just knowing what comes next breaks my heart.”

Jensen, the children’s mother, revealed she was away for a wedding when the tragedy occurred in Oldtown, Idaho. She explained her children, Scarlett and two year old Henry, were in the care of their grandmother, Jamie at the time.

“That afternoon they went to get ice cream and enjoy a walk together,” recounted Jensen. “When they arrived home to our back driveway, Scarlett wanted to get out of the stroller to pick flowers. That’s when my mum took the last picture I have of her alive.”
