“I heard expert evidence from a Consultant Intensive Care Physician, who explained that there is a limited window of time (approximately ten minutes) during which emergency life-saving treatment can be provided to a person who has applied a ligature, such that cerebral hypoxia may be prevented. Cerebral hypoxia, if not reversed, may ultimately lead to cardiac arrest and death. The expert confirmed that if medical intervention is delivered within this critical period, death may be prevented.”
