A “giving and cheerful” mother-of-three has died at her home in Dagenham at the age of just 40 after waiting more than an hour and a half for an ambulance.

Suffering severe stomach pain and shortness of breath, Victoria Louise Maame Yamphet died shortly before 9am on January 10 after her frantic daughter repeatedly called 999 requesting an ambulance as a matter of urgency.
