Savita Halappanavar died from infection after miscarrying her first child in an Irish hospital in October 2012.

Her family said she pleaded for a termination during the miscarriage, but medical staff refused her requests because there was still a foetal heartbeat.

Mrs Halappanavar's death caused international controversy and sparked a campaign to have Ireland's abortion law liberalised.Her parents have now said she will "rest in peace" after Irish voters backed a referendum to overturn the country's ban on abortion.

The death of the 31-year-old dentist, who was originally from India, became a catalyst for groundbreaking social change in Ireland.
