Mum's leg 'dies' and is amputated after she tripped in garden playing with kids

A mum who tripped over in the garden while playing with her kids suffered a knee dislocation and ended up losing her leg after it turned black.

Deanna Crump, 31, from Michigan, in the US, was running around with her children - Isaac, one, and Jerry, three - when she tripped and fell, dislocating her right knee, on August 14.

She said her leg was "hanging there" and when she arrived at hospital doctors found she had fractured both bones that connect to her knee, had multiple torn ligaments, damaged arteries, and they were unable to "find a pulse" in her leg and foot.
