Dad and son jailed after 999 call exposes one of the 'worst cases of negligence'

A father and son have been jailed after a 999 call exposed one of the 'worst cases of negligence' prosecutors had ever seen.

Dorothy Morgan was Robert Morgan’s wife and David Holyoak’s mother. The alarm was raised when paramedics were called to the address in Whitehaven where Mrs Morgan lived with the two men. Further medical investigations revealed the presence of cancer, however unfortunately her condition meant she would be unable to withstand any cancer treatment. She sadly died on February 4.

The doctor confirmed that the presence of gangrenous toes suggested that the dehydration levels were at the upper end of the range and Mrs Morgan would have been drowsy for two to three days before any medical attention was sought.
