Bradnick, operations manager at Distress Alert ambulance service said that
paramedics had confirmed that the woman was dead.
He
said his colleagues had followed all protocols and “equipment used to determine
life showed no form of life on the woman.”
Mr
Bradnick added: “This did not happen because our paramedics are not properly
