(CNN) -- The death of an Indian dentist who died after a miscarriage in an Irish hospital was the result of medical misadventure, an inquest jury ruled Friday. Savita Halappanavar, 31, was 17 weeks pregnant when she died in October at University Hospital Galway. The inquest jury heard seven days of evidence from staff and expert witnesses, as well as her widower, Praveen Halappanavar. A pathologist, Professor Grace Callagy, told the inquest the cause of death was septic shock, E. Coli in Savita Halappanavar's bloodstream and a miscarriage. In his evidence, a leading obstetrician said Halappanavar's life could have been saved had a termination been carried out a day or two before her miscarriage.
