It emerged that the father-to-be had succumbed to a cardiac arrest while sleeping on the couch.

"Wake up, it's baby day," Moss had told her husband at around 5:15 am local time, unaware he was no more.

Tom is believed to have died after a doctor misinterpreted a scan when he visited the hospital following a severe stomach bug that lasted three weeks.

Tom was cold and stiff

Moss recalled finding her partner "cold and stiff" when she tried to wake him up from his sleep.

The incident occurred 11 days after the scan, hours before she gave birth to their daughter, Harper.

"I called 999 (911) immediately. They asked me to pull Tom onto the floor and perform chest compressions," she told the court.

Moss tried her best to revive her husband until the ambulance arrived, but her efforts were in vain.
