Bernadette Horsey, 31, died as soon as her son was born but doctors have no idea why, an inquest has been told
A pathologist has told an inquest that he could not find a clear cause of death of a mother who went into cardiac arrest and died seconds after giving birth to her son. Bernadette Horsey died shortly after giving birth to Tim on January 19, 2022.
“If you asked me to put a bet on it , I would have put money on this being an amniotic fluid embolism. I was running parallel to the clinicians’ opinion up until I found no results. The doctor said on Thursday that when the case was first reported to him, he believed it would be a clear case of amniotic fluid embolus before conducting the post-mortem on January 24 last year. But after several tests and scans of tissue samples, he found no sign of this, with no positive signs of a heart attack or other issue which could have caused Mrs Horsey’s death.
