Glasgow chef's heartbreaking last words 'mum, I'm panicking' during fatal asthma attack at work

A Glasgow chef's final words were "mum, I'm panicking" before she went into cardiac arrest after suffering a severe asthma attack and died.

Chef Lauren Reid, 19, was on shift at Gin71, in Merchant City, when she called her mum, Elaine Cunningham, asking to bring her inhaler to work.

But when mum-of-two Elaine, 47, got there it was too late as an ambulance was already at the scene and her youngest child had gone into cardiac arrest. She was rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where she passed away in February 2020.
