An inquest is underway into the death of a young Yorkshire mother-of-two who died of undiagnosed sepsis following a miscarriage.

Lorette Divers died on November 20, 2020, two days after she was told her child had miscarried in the womb four weeks earlier.

She arrived at hospital by ambulance at 8.30am on November 18 after suffering from pain, vomiting and a high temperature the night before.

The 30-year-old was admitted to Sheffield Teaching Hospital’s Jessop Wing, where she was tragically told her 18-week pregnancy had miscarried a month earlier.

At Lorette’s inquest, which opened on Wednesday at Sheffield Coroner’s Court, coroner Tanyka Rawden heard the young woman was not assessed by a doctor despite her condition.

William Chapman, a solicitor representing Lorette’s family, including her mum Maxine Nicholson and partner Jahred Smith, urged the coroner to rule there had been medical negligence in her death.

He said: “She did not receive any emergency treatment. She wasn’t seen by a doctor. She did not receive antibiotics. She did not receive surgery.
