Mother and teen daughter discovered dead after emergency call went unanswered for four months

Leuga’s cause of death was pneumonia of uncertain cause.

Susan Jevons from East Midlands Ambulance Service admitted the service had received the correct address but failed to dispatch an ambulance due to the call being mistakenly closed. “There was a missed opportunity,” she told the coroner. “An ambulance should have been sent.”

Days before her emergency call, Leuga had been hospitalized for a blood transfusion and was discharged early to care for her daughter. Their tragic story has sparked outrage and questions about emergency response procedures.

Please share this heartbreaking story — it’s a stark reminder of how vital emergency services are, and the devastating consequences when systems fail.
