However, it was revealed in court that he died of brain damage because he did not receive emergency medical treatment on time.
According to local media such as The Telegraph, Olive Martin (54, female), who lived in Darrington, England on October 13, 2023 (local time), had a seizure while making toast at home and collapsed. Paramedics who were dispatched at the time declared her dead, and the body was taken to the morgue at Darrington Hospital.
Later, morgue staff discovered signs of life, and Martin suddenly woke up.
However, Martin did not receive medical treatment in time and later died of brain damage caused by lack of oxygen.
In court, the coroner at the time said "It's impossible to know how long she hasn't had oxygen in her brain."
Martin received no treatment for about two hours after waking up, the bereaved family's attorney argued, stressing that `it is possible that the outcome would have been different if the doctor had arrived at that time.' Then "There was an immediate danger to real life, and her life was in the hands of emergency personnel," he stressed.
Police conducted an investigation into the case last year, but concluded that they would not be held criminally responsible.
The court hearing on the case is scheduled to continue on January 30 next year.
