A UK coroner ruled that neglect and medical failures caused the deaths of a mother and newborn during a home birth in 2024.
A coroner has ruled that the deaths of Jennifer Cahill, 34, and her newborn daughter Agnes during a home birth in Prestwich, UK, in June 2024, were caused by "gross failures," "catastrophic error," and neglect in medical care.
Cahill died from multi-organ failure due to severe postpartum hemorrhage, while Agnes died from oxygen deprivation after prolonged umbilical cord compression.
The inquest found inadequate antenatal care, a missing birth plan, and failure to monitor the baby’s heart rate, with midwives not following standard protocols.
The coroner called the outcome preventable and a "Victorian-aged tragedy" in modern times, prompting Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust to overhaul its home birth service.
