‘We have been devastated’: Brampton man calls for accountability after wife dies from sepsis following birth of newborn son – CTV
August 27, 2025
Everything started off fine after Ravinder Kaur Sidhu gave birth to her third child, but she would never make it back to her home in Brampton, Ont., dying days later at the hospital. Her husband, Gurinder Sidhu, says she died from postpartum sepsis after a multi-organ failure, something he believes could have been prevented if her symptoms were properly addressed at the start.
The couple went to Mississauga’s Credit Valley Hospital on June 18 and in the early morning hours the following day, they welcomed their newborn son.
Sidhu says the delivery went fine, but noted Ravinder had a tear in her vagina that required stitches.
According to a timeline of events compiled by Sidhu, Ravinder broke out in a fever and violent shakes at around 11:15 a.m. For a brief period of time, Sidhu says Ravinder had trouble speaking.
“She’s vomiting, she has so much pain in the pelvic area,” Sidhu recounted. He said the doctors conducted a blood test but not the type that would determine whether bacteria were growing in her blood stream.
