Her story was one that galvanised a movement; her face became a symbol of that movement.
Savita Halappanavar died from infection after miscarrying her first child in an Irish hospital in October 2012.
Her family said she pleaded for a termination during the miscarriage, but medical staff refused her requests because there was still a foetal heartbeat.
Mrs Halappanavar's death caused international controversy and sparked a campaign to have Ireland's abortion law liberalised.

Mrs Halappanavar's death caused international controversy and sparked a campaign to have Ireland's abortion law liberalised.
"It was a battle of six years and the battle is won," Akkamahadevi Yelagi said.
"Her soul will rest in peace now."
Mrs Yelagi also told BBC News Marathi's Swati Patil-Rajgolkar: "We are thankful to those who fought the battle for my daughter."
Savita's father, Andanappa Yalgi, told other news outlets he supports calls for the new legislation to be called Savita's Law.
On Friday, people in the Republic of Ireland voted to remove the Eighth Amendment of the Irish Constitution, which gave the unborn an equal right to life as a pregnant woman.
It effectively banned abortion in the Republic of Ireland, although terminations could be carried out if a woman's life was at risk.
Crowds of pro-choice campaigners chanted the name 'Savita' outside Dublin Castle as the official results of the referendum were announced on Saturday.

They don’t care. The abortion-rights crowd have ZERO interest in “saving lives.”
I noticed that there are no Irish surnames in this article.
Maybe these folks should go home to have their abortions and stay out of Irish politics. And Religion.
Was she a patient of DHS?
Have to ask where in the deuce are these people from? Certainly not Ireland...
That’s what I was thinking. The grounds for this abortion referendum were based on a group that won’t eat a hamburger because they think it’s grandpa?
“Black Irish”.
India
Roe v Wade was a lie also, and made abortion legal throughout America.
And some say Satan does not use lies to further his agenda...
Every time I ask where someone is from it ends up being India. What on earth is wrong with Ireland that they can’t even elect an Irishman for PM? Why don’t people realize that we are happy in our own country but if we weren’t, would we be going to other countries and protest to demand changes to their ways and laws? Fat lot of good that would do in ANY country!
“”Ireland’s Indian-origin Prime Minister Leo Varadkar who campaigned in support of liberalisation said, it was a historic day for Ireland and a quiet revolution had taken place.””
“India”
Thanks - looked it up too! Still shaking head!

The government investigation report is available here:
Investigation report on death of Savita Halappanavar
Six years ago it was disclosed that her death was not because of denial of abortion (and she did not ask for abortion): it was due to a delay in the diagnosis of sepsis, and then mismanaged monitoring and treatment over a period of days until she succumbed to septic shock.
The investigators found fault on the doctors' part on the sepsis issue, but did not find any violation related to the pregnancy and miscarriage, i.e. prompt termination of the failing pregnancy would not have stopped or slowed the sepsis: it would have been irrelevant to her treatment.
A lie runs around the world while the truth is still tying its shoelaces, as Mark Twain said. And The lie lives on.
The loons have taken over Ireland. It is lost and in my view has no intrinsic value. It would be well should the British take it all back. Before it self destructs
The pro-infanticide advocates downplay all news of LEGAL botched abortions and oppose legislative efforts that would require abortionists to locate near hospitals and obtain admission privileges to secure quick help when an abortion IS botched.
Safe, Legal, and Rare is a lie.
Abortion providers coach minors to lie about the circumstances of their pregnancies to avoid investigations by law enforcement agencies (specifically they cover up instances of rape, statutory rape, and incest).
Abortionists falsify the age of babies to avoid late term restrictions.
Abortionists and board of health investigators conspire to cover up unsanitary conditions in abortion clinics.
And at no time (going back to anti-choice advocate Margaret Sanger herself) have abortionists wanted it to become RARE.
Margaret Sanger in the late 1940s demanded a moratorium on ALL babies (even among those women who WANTED to have one) for a period for TEN YEARS in Western Europe.

So she died because of the horrible disgusting socialized medicine the left just adores. So killing more babies us the answer.
What makes you think we want it? I want to see NI united with the Republic, too, to get rid of it once and for all.
Second trimester miscarriages are rare, and the docs here were slow in keeping an eye out for infection.
However, nobody is asking the question if she had an illegal abortion attempt at 17 weeks after her ultrasound at 16 weeks showed an unwanted girl. In India, such abortions are common.
