Octomum Who Stunned The World When She Fell Pregnant With Eight Babies But Lost Them All Has Died & Will Be Buried With No Mourners
Mandy Allwood, who stunned the world when she announced she was expecting octuplets before they all perished at 24 weeks, has died aged 56 after a cancer battle and will be cremated at a pauper's funeral today that none of her family plan to attend.
The 'Octomum' made global headlines when she announced she was expecting eight children in 1996, aged 31, with her boyfriend Paul Hudson.But the six boys and two girls, who were born over three days and three nights, did not survive.
Ms Allwood, who said she never recovered from the grief, is due to be cremated today in a service in Stratford-upon-Avon funded by her local council with no mourners present, after her close family declined to attend.
