Unborn AriaMay was found with no heartbeat, an inquest heard
A mum was tragically found dead at home weeks before she due to give birth, an inquest opening has heard.
Aliesha Fisher, from Lancashire, was 30 weeks pregnant when she was found on the floor of her bedroom on December 28 last year.
She had gone to sleep the night before, and was found the next morning by her cousin.
Paramedics attended the property, but neither Aliesha nor her unborn child could be saved.
Medics were unable to resuscitate Aliesha, who had epilepsy, Lancs Live reports. Her unborn daughter, who was later named AriaMay, was found without a heartbeat.
An inquest into Aliesha’s death was opened at Preston Coroner’s Court. An inquest is not necessary for her daughter as she had not been born alive.
Area Coroner Kate Bisset said: “She was last seen alive by her family at around 11pm. At around 10am the following morning her cousin woke on the couch and noticed Aliesha was on the floor of her bedroom not moving.
“Paramedics [confirmed death] shortly afterwards. She was 30 weeks pregnant. The paramedics sadly confirmed no evidence of life from the baby.
“The final inquest will consider the cause of death and what led to the tragic loss of this young woman and her unborn baby. There is no suggestion of self-harm or any deliberate causes of this baby’s death.”
The final inquest will be held on July 16.
After Aliesha’s death her family launched a muchloved.com tribute and wrote: “This site is a tribute to Aliesha Fisher and AriaMay Wright. Aliesha is much loved and will always be remembered. Together forever.”
The family raised money for Epilepsy Action in Aliesha’s memory. Harvinder Chaggar from the charity posted: “We are so sorry for your loss and are thinking of you as you remember Aliesha.
“We hope that your page helps to bring some comfort at this difficult time. Thank you so much for your kind support and please let us know if we can do anything to help.”
