Many things: If this is you I am very sorry for your loss. There can be many reasons for a spontaneous fetal demise this late in pregnancy. It could be due to a cord accident - tight cord around the neck or a knot in the cord. It could be due to an infection or a blood clot in the cord. The placenta could separate prematurely - known as an abruption. Sometimes the baby has a severe genetic issue.
