## Summary

Police in New South Wales are investigating the death of Pala Negara’s newborn son, who died on the day he was born. The investigation will establish the circumstances surrounding the death, with a report to be prepared for the coroner.

The former reality television star said she gave birth at home in Possum Creek on 28 August, 20 days after her due date, after registering with a local home birth programme. She said the programme ended her care at 41 weeks and six days, and that a rare placental abruption was identified only after delivery; her son, Harmony, died at Gold Coast University Hospital, with an autopsy finding hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy as the cause. Negara said she was receiving counselling and recovering from a postpartum haemorrhage.
