In a subsequent confinement, long after the mental agitation, a healthy unmarked infant was born.
Hunt describes a case which has since become almost classic of a woman fatally burned, when pregnant eight months, by her clothes catching fire at the kitchen grate.

The day after the burns labor began and was terminated by the birth of a well-formed dead female child, apparently blistered and burned in extent and in places corresponding almost exactly to the locations of the mother's injuries.

The mother died on the fourth day.
Webb reports the history of a negress who during a convulsion while pregnant fell into a fire, burning the whole front of the abdomen, the front and inside of the thighs to the knees, the external genitals, and the left arm.

Artificial delivery was deemed necessary, and a dead child, seemingly burned much like its mother, except less intensely, was delivered.

There was also one large blister near the inner canthus of the eye and some large blisters about the neck and throat which the mother did not show.
