Mrs Horsey had an 'extremely rare' reaction, which can stop the heart, after giving birth to son Tim
A mother who went into cardiac arrest and died seconds after giving birth to her son died of natural causes, a coroner has concluded. Bernadette Horsey died shortly after giving birth to baby Tim at the Royal Derby Hospital on January 19, 2022.
An inquest into Mrs Horsey’s death at Derby Coroner’s Court was previously told the new mother said “I’m so excited” seconds before she went into cardiac arrest and died. Despite a pathologist telling the inquest on Thursday that he could not find a clear cause of death, Louise Pinder, assistant coroner for Derby and Derbyshire, said she was satisfied that the clinicians’ conclusion that Mrs Horsey died of an amniotic fluid embolus was correct.
Recording that Mrs Horsey died of natural causes, Ms Pinder said: “She was being adequately and appropriately monitored and resuscitation attempts were well organised but ultimately unsuccessful.” Speaking outside the court after the inquest concluded, Mr Horsey told the media it had been a “tough” few days but said their son was doing well. He said: “I just want to give my respect and thanks to both the coroner’s service and the clinicians who attended today.
