Greater Manchester Police took more than eight hours to respond to an emergency call expressing concern for a troubled woman with a history of mental health difficulties, an inquest heard.
After a worried pal called GMP about Angeline Phillips, the force ignored its own policy to dispatch a cop to the 'grade two' call within an hour and instead told an ambulance crew to attend, the hearing was told.
An inquest heard paramedics left the scene as there was no answer to the door and that GMP finally dispatched an officer eight hours after the initial call. An officer finally broke into the home and found her dead after a further hour.
