The state medical examiner has determined that a New York woman who had an abortion at a Germantown clinic earlier this month died of natural causes.
Jennifer McKenna Morbelli, 29, was pronounced dead at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital on Feb. 7. Morbelli had sought a late-term abortion from a local clinic, Germantown Reproductive Health Services. The clinic has attracted controversy and weekly protests since hiring Dr. Leroy Carhart, a Nebraska-based physician who began performing abortions there in 2010.
The clinic declined to comment.
Bruce Goldfarb, a spokesperson for the medical examiner’s office, said there were three causes of death: “disseminated intravascular coagulation,” “amniotic fluid embolism following a medical termination of pregnancy” and “fetal abnormalities.”

DIC is hardly a natural cause. It's a bleeding disorder. It wouldn't occur without bleeding having begun.
Fetal abnormalities would not necessarily cause the mother to die. Sometimes babies die in the womb & mothers carry them to term for natural delivery so as not to put the mother at risk from termination of the pregnancy.
Wouldn't you have to find the artery with the amniotic embolus in it to be sure it was a cause?
