A heartbroken mother has shared a photo of the last moments she spent with her 15-year-old daughter before her life support was switched off after a sudden asthma attack left her brain dead. Horrified mother Paula Thompson, 47, found Beccy unable to breathe or talk after she took a nap at home in from Burton, Staffordshire, to recover from an asthma attack. Beccy was rushed to hospital and put in an induced coma, and her anxious family waited four days while the schoolgirl fought for her life. But a scan revealed the GCSE student was brain dead and would not wake up.
It is a Friday night and police have brought someone in hot with anger from fighting. They are drunk and injured. The situation is getting out of hand. The person needs to be restrained. Then, a gentle voice asks 'Are you alright? Can I get you something to drink, have you got any injuries? I am sorry you have found yourself here.' The location is Abingdon Police Station's Custody Suite and Beccy Smith is there to defuse the situation and look after their medical needs. Ms Smith is from Watchfield and is a police custody nurse for Thames Valley Police.
