george_seamons Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Wow, mega bump!Thanks for your continued kind thoughts though, means alot. Not really much "closure" on it though, apart from a nice copy of the letter from the police to the coroner, which reads as follows:"Dr. Dean,I would just like to inform you about the commendable actions of Mr. George Seamons at this scene and wish for it to be included as a special mention at the inquest of Mrs. Patricia Williamson.Mr. Seamons, a witness, arrived on the scene and entered the field in the dark along with others, not knowing what to expect, to see if they could offer assistance. Seeing the deceased lying in the field near to her car and realising those present appeared worried about doing CPR; without hesitation, commenced CPR on the deceased, maintaining this until emergency services arrived.I feel many other people would have stopped at this point, especially given the unpleasantness as described in his statement; but Mr. Seamons persevered with CPR, but was unfortunately unable to revive Mrs Millaimson. For a man of relatively young years (21), his behaviour and actions were exemplary."With regards to how I feel now, I'm pretty much over it now, although I occasionally get the odd reminder, which makes me feel very strange. Triggers for this include drinking white wine (which I can no longer do, because it reminds me of the taste in her mouth), seeing CPR scenes on Casualty and the like, and occasionally when I drive past the spot where it happened, I get flashbacks, which is horrible.In some ways I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get to meet her family, yet at the same time relieved, because I think meeting the family would have been so awkward for both them, and myself.I'm glad this has taught people a lesson. I would not wish upon anybody to experience what I went through. I don't think I will ever forget it.EDIT: Also forgot to add: the policewoman told me that she hadn't actually gotten out of the car at all. It turns out she wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and upon impact with the tree, she was thrown clean from the car whilst in mid-air. A very horrifying thought, especially coupled with the fact that the police said she would have almost certainly survived had she been wearing one.

Muel Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 You were definately did the right thing George, you couldn't have done better.Isn't it strange, you get in that situation and you care so much, having never met the person before. You knew nothing about her and yet were still willing to do everything to try and save her.True hero mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thats well odd, i thought about this last night when me and gorge were at a gig, coincidental for it to be bumped up. That corner gives me the creeps so badly, i don't think any of us have ever pushed it round there since. I'm glad so many of you have acknowledged georges actions, i know i certainly have alot of admiration for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
