A heavily pregnant mum was found dead by a relative in their home in Lancashire, an inquest has heard. Aliesha Fisher, 30, was found on the floor of her bedroom by a cousin on December 28 last year after going to sleep the night before.
Paramedics were called to the property but neither she or her unborn child were able to be saved. Aliesha was 30 weeks preganant when she was found. Aliesha had epilepsy, an inquest revealed, and medics were unable to resuscitate her when they arrived at the scene. Her unborn daughter, who was later named AriaMay, was found by paramedics without a heartbeat. An inquest into Aliesha’s death was opened at Preston Coroner’s Court, while an inquest into the death of AriaMay is not necessary as she was not born alive.
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.”
The final inquest is to be held on July 16. A tribute to Aliesha was shared on muchloved.com. It reads: “This site is a tribute to Aliesha Fisher and AriaMay Wright. Aliesha is much loved and will always be remembered. Together forever.”
Meanwhile, Aliesha’s family have raised money for Epilepsy Action in her memory. Harvinder Chaggar from the charity commented: “We are so sorry for your loss and are thinking of you as you remember Aliesha.
“We hope that your page helps to bring some comfort at this difficult time. Thank you so much for your kind support and please let us know if we can do anything to help.”
