That is such devastating news for your sister, my heart goes out to her and your family.
I know you will be wanting to hold onto as much hope as possible, but sadly the reality is that if there is no heartbeat found, then the baby has died. Sonographers are well trained professions and they do not break news like that without absolute certainty.
I have experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage too, and it sounds like you will be great support to your sister at this awful time.

I'm so so sorry. It's just the most heartbreaking news. You must all be devastated.
The medical treatment she will be receiving today in hospital is straight forward and she's in the best possible hands.
There's another board on Mumsnet here:
Your sister may find it helpful to read some threads for extra support there. They helped me a lot when I was in her position.

I experienced the same, no heartbeat and 8+2, when i went back for medical management they were brilliant and I asked if they could scan just to make sure, they did this and didn't think I was crazy for asking.

I was glad, as the 1st one I didn't understand anything but at the 2nd they showed me what I was supposed to see and how they knew it wasn't right, helped me settle my mind so much more and made me a lot more comfortable with the medical management.
