A 40-year-old British woman, Claire Chadwick, has died alongside her unborn child after reportedly developing a severe infection that led to septic shock in Nigeria, where she had relocated to begin a new life with her husband, Ibrahim.
Chadwick, who was 37 weeks pregnant, reportedly suffered the fatal complication after her baby died in the womb.
The deceased and her husband had regularly shared moments from their relationship, religious activities and food challenges on TikTok and Instagram, where their videos attracted thousands of followers.
Following the tragic incident, Claire’s sister, Shannon, said the family’s immediate concern was to have the bodies of her sister and the unborn baby returned to the United Kingdom for burial.
She explained that the family wanted both mother and child brought home, nearly 3,000 miles away, so they could be laid to rest together.
“More than anything, we want them both returned so they can be laid to rest with dignity, surrounded by the family who love them,” Shannon said.
Claire is survived by her 19-year-old son, who lives in Wales, her husband, Ibrahim, and other relatives.
