The police, under the supervision of the prosecutor’s office, are investigating the circumstances of the death of a young pregnant woman and her child. They died in Osiek nad Notecią (Greater Poland Voivodeship). The 21-year-old collapsed on the street, then her condition deteriorated drastically.
The situation took place on Thursday after 9. A woman aged 21, 25 weeks pregnant, fainted in the street. Then, with the help of passers-by, she was taken to a local family medicine clinic.
– There, in the first place, she was helped by people working in the health center. Tests were performed, but the woman’s condition was deteriorating. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene, and later a helicopter of the Polish Medical Air Rescue. Despite the rescue and resuscitation efforts, the woman could not be saved. Doctors continued the operation for some time because of the child, but they also failed to save him – says Wojciech Zeszot, press officer of the police in Piła.

The police under the supervision of the District Prosecutor’s Office in Chodzież are investigating the circumstances of the death. The bodies of the woman and her child were secured for autopsy.
– We are conducting activities, we are determining why the woman died and whether the care for her was correct, whether the procedures were followed. We will explain whether there have been omissions on the part of healthcare professionals. An autopsy was performed on Saturday and the preliminary results will be announced on Monday. Then we will probably be able to say something more about the possible cause of death – informs Łukasz Wawrzyniak, spokesman for the District Prosecutor’s Office in Poznań.
