The children died immediately while Tatiana was transported to a hospital, where she later died, according to the report.
Ksenia Khirvonina, a co-worker of the tech executive who was with her just weeks ago, remembered her as "happy, smiling," and "like a big sister to all of us."
"She helped us out with any situation," the co-worker added, according to the report. "She made everyone laugh around her with her jokes. She was a great woman, mother, daughter, wife."
