Thaís Leal, 40, a friend who was by Paloma’s side during her hospital stay, told Folha de S.Paulo that the chef continued to bleed heavily all day while awaiting the results of a pregnancy test. “She was admitted to hospital between 7 and 8 in the morning, with a lot of pain and heavy bleeding,” Thaís told the newspaper.

Paloma was admitted to hospital with bleeding caused by uterine fibroids. Thaís reports that she arrived on site around 10am, to take turns with Paloma’s daughter as escort. “As soon as I entered I saw Paloma bleeding profusely. Throughout the day more than three sheets were used, all completely soaked in blood,” he said.

Paloma’s friends and family say that, even during the critical hours of the hemorrhage, she was not given medication or asked for a transfer. They attribute this omission to suspicion of induced abortion. Thaís said that, around 2pm, she asked for her friend to be transferred.

“She was turning purple, her mouth was pale, she was already losing a lot of blood. I asked: please move my friend, she is going to die,” she recalls. The response he received was that the transfer would only be possible after the beta HCG test results were published. “I said: but she’s not pregnant,” the friend told Folha.

The case is under investigation

In a note to Earththe Public Prosecutor of Pernambuco (MPPE), through the 2nd Public Prosecutor’s Office for the Defense of Citizenship of Olinda, which operates in the Health Promotion sector, informs that it has started proceedings in the case of the woman’s death. The established procedure is aimed at ascertaining the facts and responsibilities, as well as the adoption of appropriate measures, within the scope of the functions of the Prosecutor’s Office.

The Civil Police of Pernambuco reported that they recorded the incident on October 17, through the 7th Police Station of Olinda. A police investigation has been launched to establish the facts and investigations are ongoing.

The journalist contacted the Tricentenário hospital, but received no response. At Folha de S.Paulo, the institution reported that the patient was admitted to the obstetric emergency room on the 8th, complaining of bleeding for approximately 15 days and a history of uterine myomatosis. After the medical examination, she was admitted to hospital, treated and tests showed a sharp drop in hemoglobin.

The hospital stated that it had requested transfer to a more complex department, but, given the clinical worsening and instability, the patient suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest. According to the institute, she was taken to the unit’s intensive care unit, where she underwent resuscitation maneuvers, but her death was confirmed around 7 p.m.

On social media, the Pernambuco Women’s Forum, together with the Social Control of the State Committee for Maternal Mortality Studies and the Escola Território Afetivos, repudiated what happened and called for justice.
