The cause of death was a "traumatic laceration of the spleen" the coroner said.
I have been delivering babies for 31 years & have had my share of difficult deliveries. What happened during the delivery matters and I would expect the coroner and pathologist were aware of the clinical history.
This word choice "traumatic laceration" suggests to me that they are confident the splenic injury was caused by trauma.
There is little information so I am speculating, but if this was a difficult breech delivery, for example, & it was very hard to get the baby out, and multiple maneuvers were needed, & they found a laceration on the spleen - that would be reason to declare the cause of death "traumatic laceration of the spleen" and also to state that measles was not a contributing factor.
So the delivery events do matter.
But whatever the delivery events, Gov. Shapiro & the media misled the public & did a grave disservice to the mother. https://t.co/yltPmuTOQX
