The husband of a 28-year-old woman who died just four hours after delivering her baby at Mayo University Hospital has settled for €1.9 million High Court actions over her death. The couple had planned to have more children and buy a home in Ireland—their mortgage offer came in two days after Ms Tariq’s death. The inquest heard Ms Tariq died after a heart attack following post-partum haemorrhage, retained placenta, bleeding arising from ectopic deciduosis, and shock. Despite extensive emergency resuscitative efforts just four hours after delivering her baby daughter, Ms Tariq died. The review into Ms Tariq’s death found her skin pallor was “initially less obvious” due to her ethnicity.
