CROYDON University Hospital may face criminal charges after a mother-of-six bled to death during a Caesarean section.
Files have been passed by the police to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in relation to the death of Rosida Etwaree in June 2010.
The 45-year-old lost more than half her blood after delivering twins at the London Road hospital.
Staff made a number of errors including failing to record the extent of her blood loss, monitor her surgery or react to the seriousness of her condition.
Coroner Roy Palmer referred the case to the CPS to investigate whether there are grounds for a criminal prosecution under the Corporate Manslaghter Act.
Today (Tuesday) Mrs Etwaree's husband, Ahamud, is at the High Court where he is expected to be awarded an undisclosed sum in compensation.
He told The Times: "They let my wife bleed to death in the recovery room.
"I want to know how it could have happened, and I want the people responsible to be brought to justice. They need to pay for what they have done."
Croydon Health Services, the trust which runs the hospital, said it would issue a statement this afternoon following the conclusion of the High Court case.
A police spokesman said: "At the request of the Coroner, the Metropolitan Police Service carried out a review of the events prior to the death of a 45-year-old woman who was receiving treatment at a south London hospital.
"An advice file was submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service on January 10. We await their response."
