A British Columbia woman who describes herself as a childbirth advocate has been charged with manslaughter after police say an infant she helped deliver died days after its birth.
RCMP in Ladysmith, B.C., say 77-year-old Gloria Lemay was involved in the birth process of a child who was unresponsive when delivered on Dec. 27, 2023, at a private residence.
Police say the infant died on Jan. 6, 2024, despite life-saving efforts from emergency workers.
A statement from the police say that they believe the woman’s involvement in the birth process “led to the child’s injuries and eventual death.”
Lemay has been arrested and charged, and police say no further details will be released given the case is now before the courts….
