00:00The grieving woman said the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband would
00:05never be erased from her mind. She said it was a normal Tuesday evening when her husband
00:10suddenly collapsed in the yard of their home shortly before 7pm following the delivery
00:16of water to their home.
00:37Mrs. Kingroach said she then called for help and relatives came to her aid.
00:55The family said they called for an ambulance but were told
00:59none was available.
01:01I called the ambulance. They said they have no ambulance or fire service. They said they
01:08have no ambulance either so I called the police and they said okay I will get on to EHSO.
01:15By the time an ambulance was dispatched over half hour later Mr. Roach was already dead.
01:22His family believes he would have been alive if emergency personnel responded sooner.
01:28If they had came there on time, the time where we called him, if they had come for like 10
01:34minutes, 5 minutes, he would have been alive. He would have been alive. Even though he wasn't
01:40talking he would have been stable. He would have been alive.
