A heartbroken mum whose son collapsed during a football match said Nottingham City Council 'has not done anything' to address the concerns surrounding his death. Bridget Akwasi spoke during an inquest into her 13-year-old son's death.
Samuel Akwasi was playing for FC Cavaliers U13s against WBCY FC Rossoneri when he went into cardiac arrest at the Forest Recreation Ground, on May 7 last year. Two parents tried to save him with mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions.
But concerns have been raised over a potential delay caused while attempts were made to locate lifesaving defibrillators. Giving evidence during the second day of the inquest on Thursday, March 23, Edward Curry of Nottingham City Council said two defibrillators were inside the cafe in the park and at the sport zone, located at 100 metres and and 220 metres respectively.
