A pregnant woman has tragically died after suffering a medical emergency at her home in Kirkby, Merseyside. Police were called to the scene on Highsted Road shortly before 11am on Tuesday following a report from the North West Ambulance Service.
The woman, aged in her 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts from officers and paramedics. Merseyside Police confirmed that her death is being treated as non-suspicious and that her next of kin has been informed.
Witnesses reported a large police presence, with patrol cars and an ambulance outside the house. Two air ambulances also attended, landing near Headbolt Lane train station, with one later believed to have touched down at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
A police spokesperson said: 'We would discourage anyone from engaging in speculation online about the circumstances of this incident, which is unhelpful and potentially hurtful to those involved.' A report will be sent to the Coroner’s Office.
