HD keeps saying that Archie was only hanging for 3 mins as if this makes a massive difference.
She can't really know unless she timed it.
He obviously wasn't breathing when he was cut down obviously no need for CPR.
She's failing to take into consideration that he wouldn't have been getting efficient oxygen during CPR whilst waiting for ambulance.
He had a GCS of 3 when paramedics got to him.
He had a cardiac arrest at Southend.
So even if he had only been hanging for 3 minutes, his brain suffered without enough oxygen for a period of time after that. She doesn't seem to understand that it wasn't just the hanging episode that caused the trauma, it was trauma, after trauma after trauma (although he was pretty much gone by the time paramedics got to him).
And reading that back to myself, maybe I need to re-evaluate. Imagine finding your child hanging, trying to perform CPR only to discover you don't really know how and you can't save him.
And that's what you're trying to cover up, the fact that no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't bring him back because you didn't know how.
It was not only Archie’s breathing that stopped at his home, his heart had stopped too. He had both a respiratory and cardiac arrest.
From the time of the 999 call it took 8 minutes for the ambulance to get there. 8 minutes.
The paramedics were unable to restart his heart although they supported his system by CPR.
It was only at Southampton Hospital that his heart was restarted and circulation reestablished, they have more sophisticated drugs and techniques in hospital.
From the time of the 999 call to restarting the heart was about 36 minutes.
These established facts are in the court documents. No one, even HoLi, can say for certain how long Archie was hanging that is why no time is officially documented for this. What is certain is that both his breathing and heart had stopped.
Most untrained members of the public perform CPR inefficiently with only about a 10% success rate for out of hospital CPR.
HoLi’s 3 minutes just does not reflected the documented known facts.
