Very sorry to hear this.
This should be a good warning to all of us DIY mechanics. Tragic circumstances can and do happen. I personally would never get under a car that is not fully supported on load tested and certified axle stands. I also put a spare wheel and chocks of wood under the car subframe for additional security.
