TAIPEI (CNA reporter Lin Chang-shun) – Female police officer Chen Qianwen of Taipei City Police Department's Zhongzheng First Precinct gave birth to her first child on the 18th but died due to severe postpartum hemorrhage despite emergency treatment. The baby girl also suffered brain damage due to hypoxia and is undergoing treatment.
Prosecutors from the Taipei District Prosecutors Office conducted an autopsy on the 22nd and are scheduled to perform an autopsy on the body next Tuesday (28th) morning to clarify the cause of death.
It is understood that Chen Qianwen usually handled security duties for important officials. She gave birth to her first baby girl, "An'an," before Mother's Day, but she passed away in the early morning of the 20th after one day of emergency treatment due to excessive postpartum bleeding. As baby "An'an"'s condition is still unstable and her brain was damaged due to hypoxia, she is still receiving treatment and observation in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Considering that the family is not only grieving Chen Qianwen's death but also facing the heavy financial burden of caring for "An'an," the Zhongzheng First Precinct actively launched a fundraising campaign. Due to the overwhelming response, the Zhongzheng First Precinct issued a press release yesterday, asking the public to stop remittances immediately.
The Zhongzheng First Precinct stated that to ensure the proper use of donations in line with the original purpose of care, they are actively assisting the family in establishing a dedicated trust account for "An'an" and plan to transfer all received funds into the trust account for unified management. These funds will be specifically used for her medical care, rehabilitation, living expenses, and future education, ensuring transparency and proper use of funds.
Media reported that Chen went to a clinic in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, for natural childbirth on the 18th. After childbirth, she experienced uncontrollable bleeding. After being transferred to New Taipei City Hospital for treatment, she was then transferred to Taipei Mackay Memorial Hospital for emergency rescue and died on the 20th due to excessive blood loss. The family suspects that the clinic delayed sending her to the hospital by 25 minutes and believes there are doubts about the cause of death, so they reported the case and requested the police to follow criminal autopsy procedures.
