Woman died after attempting abortion

A pregnant woman died as she attempted to deliver her baby at her apartment, while the newborn also died in the process, according to police. Farwaniya policemen rushed to a building in the area after receiving an emergency call from the janitor, who reported that a tenant was heard screaming inside her apartment while the front door could not be unlocked. They broke into the apartment and found the Filipina woman lying unconscious with a stillborn baby next to her. Paramedics who accompanied police to the apartment pronounced the woman and the baby dead on the scene.
