Dad died in front of wife and daughters after ambulance crew left him at home

An ambulance trust has said it is "sincerely sorry" after a Hull dad died at home in front of his family after being left by an ambulance crew. The man, 51, was suffering from a hernia, which cut off blood to his bowel.

He had to wait two hours for the ambulance to arrive at his Hull home after his wife made three calls. His condition worsened and he was finding it hard to breathe and was dizzy.

When the crew did arrive, the man was examined before being left at home. He was told to take anti-sickness medication, despite his wife saying that he was "clearly very unwell".
