A doula at a 2025 Melbourne home birth declined to testify in the inquest into wellness influencer Stacey Warnecke’s death from postpartum hemorrhage, citing fear of self-incrimination.
A doula present during the September 29, 2025, home birth of Stacey Warnecke, a 30-year-old wellness influencer in Melbourne, has declined to provide a statement to investigators, citing fears of self-incrimination.
Warnecke died from a postpartum hemorrhage after her condition rapidly deteriorated, despite an ambulance being called around 4:30 a.m. and her transport to Frankston Hospital.
Her husband, Nathan Warnecke, cooperated with police, but the doula, Emily Lal, has refused to speak.
The Victorian coroner, Therese McCarthy, ordered a direct witness summons for Lal, which would compel her to testify under a certificate protecting her from criminal prosecution.
The inquest continues as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding Warnecke’s death.
