A 40-year-old British woman, Claire Chadwick, has died alongside her unborn baby after developing sepsis in Nigeria.
Chadwick was 37 weeks pregnant and expecting a girl with her husband, Ibrahim, when she reportedly developed complications that resulted in the baby’s death in the womb. She later died from septic shock.
The deceased had relocated from the United Kingdom to Nigeria to start a new life with her husband. She also gained a social media following by sharing videos about their relationship, faith and food challenges on TikTok and Instagram.
Following the tragedy, her family launched a GoFundMe campaign with a target of £10,000 to raise funds to repatriate her remains and those of her unborn daughter to the UK for burial.
Her sister, Shannon, said the family wanted to bring them both home so they could receive a dignified burial surrounded by loved ones.
She described Claire as a strong-minded woman who lived life on her own terms and left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
