Triple Zero Call Failed in Hospital Death | Adelaide News
Description
A tragic death at a South Australian hospital has sparked an urgent investigation after the spouse allegedly couldn’t reach Triple Zero during a critical moment — only to have to use a second phone for help. Telstra confirmed no calls from the deceased’s address, but a “related” call was successfully placed from another number. Police are preparing a coroner’s report, while Ambulance Service confirms they responded within 11 minutes to a valid 000 call. The case gained national attention after a federal senator raised concerns over a possible Telstra outage — though police say they’ve spoken with both the senator and the family.
