Bodies of Nottingham mother and daughter found almost four months after 999 call

The bodies of Alphonsine Djiako Leuga, 47, and her 18-year-old daughter Loraine Choulla were found almost four months after Leuga had called 999 saying she "could not move". Despite the call, no ambulance was sent to their residence. Leuga suffered from sickle cell anaemia and died from pneumonia. Her daughter Loraine had learning difficulties and Down's syndrome, and was completely dependent on her mother for basic care. The inquest heard that Loraine was reliant on Leuga for food and hydration. The tragic incident highlights the need for better emergency response and support for vulnerable individuals and their caregivers. The article emphasizes the importance of ensuring that such cases are promptly addressed to prevent similar heartbreaking outcomes in the future.
