A deaf woman is calling for ambulance crews to learn basic sign language after paramedics were unable to tell her that her husband had died. Elizabeth Corbett was at work when she received a distressed video call from her children to say her husband David, 51, had fallen ill. By the time she got home, paramedics had arrived but could not explain to Mrs Corbett what had happened.
