Stacey Warnecke, 30, died on 29 September at Frankston Hospital in Melbourne following a postpartum haemorrhage after a planned freebirth at home attended by paid birthkeeper Emily Lal. A senior clinician reported Lal to police the same day. Warnecke had paid Lal $6,000 for support; she delivered her son shortly after 3 a.m. and the placenta 20-25 minutes later.
