A grieving mother is struggling to understand the tragic loss of her toddler, who was killed by his own father.

The tragic death of a two-year-old boy, Rowan, and his father, James, has left their family in a state of incomprehensible grief. The heartbreaking incident took place on Monday evening in a unit on College Street in East Lismore, located on the New South Wales Far North Coast. Rowan's mother, Dr. Sophie Roome, along with her family, has released a statement to address the sudden loss of her beloved son.

In their statement, the family expresses their deep sorrow and the pain they are going through. They describe Rowan as a beautiful and joyful child who was loved by everyone around him. His short life was filled with happy experiences, from his love for music, the beach, swimming, to his friends and family. The family also mentions that Rowan's life was tragically taken away by an act of violence, which they describe as evil and cowardly. They mention that there can be no excuses for such hurt and the pain it has caused is endless.

The family also acknowledges the suffering of James' family, who are also going through immense pain. They thank everyone who has provided support and love during this difficult time. However, they have stated that they will not be making any further comments at this moment.

Meanwhile, the police have released a statement saying that they suspect the two were killed in a murder-suicide. James, who was 38 years old, was an employee at NSW Health. The government department had to issue an apology today after an employee allegedly sent an inappropriate email to colleagues, referring to James as a "wonderful colleague and beloved friend." It is believed that the email was sent a few days after the tragic incident was made public.

In response to this, a spokesperson from NSW Health has stated that the department does not endorse or approve of the email sent by an individual staff member. They also mention that the events in Lismore have had a deep impact on the community, including their staff members. The department's main focus is to provide support to those who need it during this difficult time and in the future.

The sudden and tragic loss of Rowan has left a void in the hearts of everyone who knew him. His family and friends will always cherish his memories and love him forever. The community's thoughts and prayers are with the family, and they hope that they find the strength to overcome this devastating loss.
