British model Sallie Axl spoke of her horror at being sent home from hospital with her dead baby in a plastic bag "like a takeaway."

The 27-year-old, famous for her tattoos and glamour modelling, took to her Facebook page to vent her anger at the treatment she received after miscarrying earlier this year.

Seven weeks after the devastating event she claims she was given her child in a box and a plastic bag.

Ms Axl also accused staff at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester of treating her with no compassion and claims she nearly died from an infection she contracted after the miscarriage.

She wrote on her profile: "On the 17th of July I received my dead baby at hospital in a box and a plastic bag ...!!

"With that another bag of medicines and sent on my way home to grieve.

"My dead baby was treated no more than someone handing me over a takeaway."

"This is the first time I have been able to talk about this as my ordeal was disgusting."

Ms Axl, who also has a daughter called Nirvana, also posted on Twitter: "Left to grieve ... With my dead child in a plastic bag. @NHSEngland won't even return a email. Enough is enough," along with the image of her holding a plastic bag.

Seven hours after posting the tirade, it had been shared 8,100 times - with fans and well-wishers expressing their sympathy.
