A 20-year-old student from Manchester Metropolitan University has died after allegedly being told by 999 responders to drink paracetamol instead of being sent an ambulance. The victim, identified as Joshua Adiefeh, was found unresponsive in his student accommodation just hours after the call for help was made.
The incident occurred earlier this month in Manchester, where Joshua, a first-year Accounting and Finance student, reportedly began suffering from intense stomach pain. His twin brother, Joel Adiefeh, contacted emergency services as Joshua's condition worsened, but he said they were told to take paracetamol rather than being offered immediate medical assistance.
