A Johannesburg couple has been in a tragic state after finding out their unborn son had died.


Marzanne Lennox and husband, Thomas were going to name their miracle baby Jensen.

Plans for the baby shower were under way and everyone in the family was excited to meet baby Jensen.

However, Lennox who has been undergoing treatment in hospital for the Covid-19 virus since 30 June, found out on Tuesday that her unborn son had died.

The mother-to-be had been on a ventilator for more than two weeks fighting the virus.

Also, the doctors considered an emergency Caesarean but Lennox was too weak for the procedure.

She was immediately put on a ventilator.

She also had a sore throat and blocked nose and was given antibiotics by a doctor in Midrand, where she lives.

It is suspected that Lennox may have contracted the virus during a visit to a clinic.

She has no underlying illnesses. The family said they were grateful for all the support they had been receiving.
