A mother died on Dec 23, 2022, from unrecognized bleeding post-childbirth due to hospital errors in Essex.

Laura-Jane Seaman, a 40-year-old mother of five, died at Broomfield Hospital in Essex on December 23, 2022, due to unrecognized internal bleeding after childbirth. The coroner found multiple failures by healthcare professionals, including misdiagnosing her collapse as dehydration instead of a serious medical emergency. The hospital's maternity services were rated "requires improvement," and the trust is now enhancing training to better recognize early signs of patient deterioration.
