Family 'broken' as teen dies after waiting on ambulance for 15 hours

The distraught family of a 19-year-old man who was found dead after waiting on an ambulance that failed to turn up say they are "broken". Bradley Holder was found dead on Monday December 19, after calling 999 for help the night before.

Emergency services attended the property on High Lane, in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, the next morning after a second call was made from the home. Brad initially phoned 999 at 6.12pm on Sunday December 18.

But due to hospital handover delays and West Midlands Ambulance Service being busy with similar calls, no ambulance was dispatched.
