1/1 TWINS who died less than an hour after birth died as a result of prematurity - indirectly caused by a medical intervention procedure which was performed to try and save them, an inquest concluded. A six-hour inquest heard how Faith Summer Peacock and Reggie Robert Peacock died 53 minutes after being born on August 1, 2019 at Dorset County Hospital. The twins died of prematurity which senior coroner for Dorset Rachael Griffin said was an indirect result of multifetal reduction surgery . On May 13, Rebecca Peacock, 26, of Lyme Regis, found out she was pregnant with quintuplets after natural contraception, an extremely rare occurrence. Mrs Peacock and husband Peter, 35, were referred by DCH fetal consultant Dr Robert Sandy to have surgery at St George s Hospital, London, on June 5, 2019.
