The Deputy State Coroner has by now found a woman with schizophrenia, who had died 12 days after giving birth in Wollongong Hospital due to the way she was put under control by the hospital staff. Jasmina Djordjevic, 32-year-old mentally ill woman died in Wollongong Hospital's mental health unit in May 2008. Further, the investigation by the Coroner into the death case of Mrs. Djordjevic found that she had died due to brain injury that had resulted from cardiac arrest due to ‘‘positional asphyxia’’.

The coroner in its findings has held hospital staff responsible for the death of Djordjevic. He said that it was only because she was not restrained well by the hospital staff, so she ingested an unknown substance that led to her death later in the mental health unit.

Expressing the grief, Deputy State Coroner, Ian Guy told the court yesterday that though the birth of the baby of Mrs. Djordjevic has been a joyful moment but it has been turned to a dejected moment with baby’s mother to have died due to the negligence of the hospital staff for it not being evidently aware of mental illness of Mrs. Djordjevic, even when she had at least a dozen check-ups at the hospital's antenatal unit.
