 Soon after midnight , Charlotte began vomiting violently and complaining of pains in her stomach . Sir Richard was called , and was alarmed to find his patient cold to the touch , breathing with difficulty , and bleeding . He placed hot compresses on her , the accepted treatment at the time for postpartum bleeding , but the blood did not stop . He called in Stockmar and urged him to bring Leopold . Stockmar found Leopold difficult to rouse , and went to see the Princess , who grabbed his hand and told him , " They have made me tipsy . " Stockmar left the room , planning to try again to rouse the Prince , but was called back by Charlotte 's voice , " Stocky ! Stocky ! " He entered the room to find her dead .
