YARRA GLEN, Australia — A shortage of ambulances may have contributed to the death of an 11-year-old Australian boy who died after having an asthma attack, an inquest into the boy’s death was told Thursday.
Jake Hindhaugh, of Yarra Glen, Australia, had just returned home from his football game last year when he had the attack, The Age reported.
Because the nearby ambulance services – located about 8 miles aways — were too busy to take the Hindhaugh’s call, Jake’s parents called for ambulance service in a town that is more than 15 miles away, the inquest was told.
