A man has died after waiting more than 10 hours for paramedics in Adelaide’s east, South Australia’s ambulance employees association (AEA) has alleged.

The 54-year-old SA man made a triple-zero call on 27 December, the same night a “code white” was declared for emergency departments across the city.
