EMERGENCY CALL – 29.10.13 at 10 hours 38 minutes 28 seconds<br />

Operator: Hello, ambulance and emergency, how…<br />

Caller: Oh my God, thank God. I’ve been disconnected. Can you hear me? I’ve been trying to call,<br />

trying to call you back. I was talking to somebody, but my phone went dead and I couldn’t get a signal<br />

again. I’ve found that boy. I’ve found him. But he’s in a really bad way.<br />

Operator: Where are you, caller?<br />

Caller: Please, hurry up.<br />

Operator: Can you tell me where you are?<br />

Caller: I’m in Leigh Woods, by a rope swing. Off the path. Are they looking for us? Should I go to the<br />

path?<br />

Operator: Hold on just a second, OK… [consults somebody briefly]… All right, help is already on<br />

its way, they’re nearly with you, but it’s best if you stay with the boy and I really need you to tell me if<br />

he’s breathing if you can.<br />

Caller: He is breathing, but it’s really bad breathing. I can’t feel a pulse in his arm. He’s freezing<br />

cold. I’ve put my coat on him.<br />

Operator: Right. Is he conscious at all?<br />

Caller: No, he’s not.<br />

Operator: All right. You’re doing well. Can you see if he’s got any injuries on him? Is there any<br />

blood?<br />

Caller: I can’t see any blood. He’s got bruises up his arm. He’s making weird noises.<br />

Operator: Right, can you carefully move him onto his back, as quickly as you can, and have a look in<br />

his mouth if you can, check there’s nothing obstructing it. Keep him lying as flat as you can.<br />

Caller: I’m doing it. God, he’s cold, he’s soaking wet. Oh God. Where are they?<br />

Operator: They’re nearly with you. Can you tell me how’s his breathing now?<br />

Caller: Bad.<br />

Operator: But he’s still breathing, right?<br />

Caller: I’ve got him on his back.<br />

Operator: Look in his mouth. Is there anything in there? Food or vomit?<br />

Caller: No. His lips are blue.<br />

Operator: Is he still breathing?<br />

Caller: Yes, he is. I’m going to lie with him. I’m going to give him my body heat.
