Pregnant mother, 29, and unborn baby girl die at home in double tragedy
A young pregnant mother and her unborn baby girl both died in a double tragedy at her home, an inquest has heard.
Aliesha Fisher, 29, was found dead on her bedroom floor by her cousin just weeks before she was due to give birth.
She had last been seen alive the night before at 11pm before being found unresponsive just 11 hours later, Preston Coroner's Court heard.
Paramedics rushed to her home address in Lancashire on December 27 last year to try to save her life, but were unable to resuscitate her, Lancashire Live reported.
Aliesha was 30 weeks pregnant at the time of her death. Medics were unable to find a heartbeat for the unborn baby, which was later named Aria.
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.'
A full inquest is scheduled to take place on July 16.
Tributes were posted on memorial online site muchloved, which has been set up in Aliesha's memory to raise money for charity Epilepsy Action, describing her as a 'gorgeous girl'.
One heartbreaking tribute read: 'Love and miss you so much. Life really ain't the same anymore. Just sit and wait for you to message me ranting on about something. Alls I think about is you in that room by yourself with Aria, dark and cold.
'I know how much you hated being alone. I hope you are surrounded by love and laughter Aliesha.
'I hope you're making sure everything is still in check and you have the final say. I will see you again someday. Until then. You sleep tight and finally sleep peacefully. I love you forever and a day.'
