A dad died in front of his kids after a "disgusting" ambulance crew "dismissed him as an alcoholic" his family claim.

The 51-year-old was forced to wait two hours for paramedics to arrive even though his wife called emergency services three times.

His health got worse and he found it more difficult to breathe and had increasing dizziness, HullLive reports.

But he was then left at home by crews and instead told to take anti-sickness medication, despite pleas from his wife that he was "clearly very unwell".

The man's devastated widow claimed ambulance staff had "robbed him of his life" when he fell critically ill in 2019.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust said lessons have been learnt following the man’s tragic death.
