Death of man, 50, could have been prevented had he not faced 8-hour ambulance wait, says coroner

A 50-year-old who died of cardiac issues would likely have survived had paramedics not taken more than eight-and-a-half hours to reach him, a coroner has said.

Christopher Hart, 50, died at his home in Woodbridge, Suffolk, last October after the hours-long wait for an ambulance, which should have responded to his 999 call in around 40 minutes.
