</form> A mother who suddenly went into a cardiac arrest while attending a family court hearing died after the first paramedic to treat her allegedly left his equipment in his car, an inquest has heard
A coroner was told on Wednesday how the family of Hayley Gascoigne urged the medical professional to "hurry up" as he attempted to treat the 32-year-old
The mother-of-four, of Baildon Road in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, suddenly collapsed at Hull Combined Court Centre on January 26 2017 and later died at the Hull Royal Infirmary
During an inquest at Hull Coroner's Court, yards from where the incident took place, her sister, Charlotte Jones, told the coroner through a written statement how she had appeared to have been nervous about the hearing
Mrs Jones said that her sister then went to the toilet "to compose herself", and started complaining of feeling "dizzy and sick" when she went back to join fellow family members on the court's upper concourse
She added: "Her eyes suddenly went back behind her head, and she went rigid." The inquest heard how the mother-of-four was first treated by a security officer and a retired nurse, who happened to be at the scene
However, police officers described how a paramedic was seen "walking" up the stairs to treat her, and appeared to "not appreciate the severity of the incident" as he laid out his equipment
Giving evidence at the start of the three-day inquest, Detective Chief Inspector Anthony Cockerill, of Humberside Police, said that the paramedic appeared to be "uncomfortable" with the situation
He said: "I could tell, through experience of having dealt with medical colleagues for many years, that something did not appear right
"Just from the expression on his face, something was not how it should be." He told Senior Coroner Professor Paul Marks how he had overheard a female paramedic, who later arrived at the scene, ask whether the first paramedic had brought his kit
Mr Cockerill claimed the male paramedic responded with words to the effect of: "I left it in the car
I'm sorry. I thought it was just some kind of fit." He told the court how a security guard and a retired nurse first tended to Miss Gascoigne after hearing "raised voices" on the court's upper concourse
They had initially performed CPR, but stopped after the mother appeared to be breathing, with the first paramedic arriving some "three to four minutes" later
Detective Constable Mark Lilleyman said that the medical professional was seen "walking up the stairs" to Miss Gascoigne, and "seemed to take a little while to maybe realise how serious the situation was"
The court heard from Dr Ian Richmond, a consultant histopathologist who carried out a post-mortem, how Miss Gascoigne's death appeared to have been caused by a failure in the heart's left ventricular, which in turn was the result of hypertensive heart disease
He confirmed that she had otherwise appeared to be a "healthy lady" at the time of her death, and that her condition could have been survivable with treatment
The first paramedic is expected to give evidence on Wednesday afternoon.
