A British home where a mother and daughter perished despite requesting an ambulance months earlier was the subject of an investigation. In May of last year, the bodies of 47-year-old Alphonsine Djiako Leuga and her 18-year-old daughter Loraine Choulla were discovered at their Nottinghamshire residence. Sadly, an investigation found that the mother had dialled 999 to summon an ambulance, but it never arrived.
Following an investigation this week, representatives from Nottingham Police, the Nottinghamshire Coroner’s Service, and the East Midlands Ambulance Service have discussed this occurrence in court and shared their conclusions. Detective Con Jack Cook of the Nottinghamshire Police stated at the inquest that investigators now think that Alphonsine passed away shortly after calling the emergency services. The investigation started on July 21.
According to investigations, Loraine, who was “entirely dependent” on her mother and had Down syndrome and learning disabilities, had survived until February 28. On February 2, Alphonsine’s call was answered, and before the connection ended, the mother was able to provide her address and request that an ambulance be sent.
