Our client was 4-1/2 months into her first pregnancy when she was admitted to the hospital in labor and her first child was stillborn. The stillbirth was devastating to the parents. After the stillbirth, our client held her baby and stayed with him until released the next morning. Her sorrow was so deep that she developed pains in her chest which she described as her heart being broken. The parents arranged to have their son buried at Greenwood Cemetery. They brought in clothing for their son, a blanket, teddy bear and prayer card to be placed in the casket. The mortuary told them they would wash and dress their baby before placing him in the casket. The parents were at the grave site awaiting the burial ceremony when our client asked to view her baby one last time. Thereafter it was discovered that there was no baby in the casket. A bucket containing a placenta was all that was found in the casket. Our client was so distraught she passed out at the grave site.
