## Resource

A tragic inquest into David Low’s death reveals a critical failure in emergency response: a paramedic delayed lifesaving action because he misunderstood his legal authority to force entry, costing minutes that may have saved his life. Despite clear signs Mr. Low was in distress, the paramedic hesitated — only after police arrived and his daughter intervened was entry gained. The coroner’s findings expose systemic gaps in training and procedure, with eight urgent recommendations now in place, including equipping vehicles with forced-entry tools and mandating formal legal training. South Australia vows to act, updating policies to ensure future responders act decisively — because every second counts.
