DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland will publish a long-awaited report into why a miscarrying woman died in an Irish hospital after being refused an abortion, authorities said Thursday as an opinion poll suggested strong public support for extending abortion rights.
The 108-page report from an expert panel is expected to detail many failures in the medical care given Savita Halappanavar, a 31-year-old Indian dentist living in the western city of Galway. She died from blood poisoning in October one week after being hospitalized while suffering a miscarriage.

Doctors refused to abort her fetus until its heart beat stopped. During those days of delay, a coroner's inquest has already determined that Halappanavar developed lethal blood poisoning.

The expert report, led by London obstetrics professor Sabaratnam Arulkumaran, is expected to detail several points when Galway doctors and nurses should have detected the rising septicemia in her blood.
