C-Section Deaths

Young Teachers Connected By Birth, Death

In a heartbreaking coincidence, two young teachers from the same South Jersey school gave birth at the same hospital and died only days apart.

Valerie Scythes and Melissa Farah both taught at Avon Elementary school in Barrington.

Both women were pregnant and died 15 days apart in March and April after delivering by cesarean section at Underwood Memorial Hospital in Woodbury, Gloucester County.

Scythes, 35, died on March 28 and Farah, 28, died on April 12.

An autopsy on Melissa Farah revealed she died due to bleeding and anemia.

A preliminary autopsy on Valerie Scythes did not reveal a specific cause of death.
