Late NSW paramedic Steven Tougher’s daughter born

The widow of a slain NSW paramedic has given birth to the couple’s second child, weeks after the young father was stabbed to death in a car park.
Steven Tougher, 29, was attacked during his meal break outside a McDonald’s in south-west Sydney in mid-April.
He was the first paramedic to die on duty in NSW in three decades, and his death devastated his family, colleagues and heavily pregnant wife Madison Tougher.
On Thursday night, Ms Tougher revealed the couple’s second child – Lily-Mae Stevie Tougher – had been born in mid-May.
“Madison and Lily-Mae, and big brother Kobi, are doing well and the extended family is very excited,” the post by NSW Ambulance said.
“Madison reports her labour and birth were peaceful and calm, just like Steven’s personality.”
The new baby girl weighed 4.1 kilograms and was 48 centimetres long. NSW Ambulance said Ms Tougher would share a photo of her daughter at a later date.
Mr Tougher was a nurse before becoming a paramedic. He had been in that job for just a year when he was killed. He and Madison had been married only five weeks.
The couple had intended to raise their family in south-western Sydney, after Mr Tougher landed a posting in the area shortly before his tragic death.
Jordan James Fineanganofo, 21, has been charged with Mr Tougher’s murder. He is next due in court on June 28.
The extended Tougher family has asked for privacy.
