Dawn Sturgess’s condition was “unsurvivable” by the time paramedics arrived on scene, a medical expert has told an inquiry looking into her fatal poisoning by Novichok.

The 44-year-old died on July 8, 2018 after she was exposed to the nerve agent, which was left in a discarded perfume bottle in Amesbury, Wiltshire.
