A 93-year-old woman died after she waited hours for an ambulance following a fall. Trudy Crumb from Merthyr Tydfil was found on the floor of her home by her daughter, Angela Davies, at around 4pm on Monday, July 25.
When Angela arrived, she said her usually capable mother was lying on her back and seemed confused. She believes Trudy had been there since Sunday evening.
Despite ringing for an ambulance right away and informing operators that Trudy's hands and toes were turning blue, Angela claims it took paramedics around four hours to arrive. She explained how Trudy was not able to use a toilet for the duration and had to remain on the floor.
