Kimberley McAssey, 29, had been drinking and taking drugs with Ryan Sheridan when woke up to find her unresponsive in his bed four years ago.But rather than dial 999, Sheridan called his mother who went out and bought him sandwiches before eventually calling the emergency services some 30 hours later. The delay meant there were complications with Kimberley’s post mortem, meaning her family will never get the answers they want about how she died.Kimberley McAssey(Image: Greater Manchester Police / SWNS)But the family from Prestwich, Manc, were “shocked and angry” to learn there is currently no law compelling people to call for help in an emergency, unless they have a duty of care.Now, Kimberley’s family have launched a campaign calling on the government to make it a criminal offence not to dial 999 in an emergency.Her mum, Karrie said: “It’s a huge loss to us all. Even now I find it hard to believe she’s still not here. I have to just think she’s somewhere else.She added: “She could be here today if he rang emergency services, that’s something we’ll never know.”She’s got a beautiful daughter, she’s 12 now, she wants answers about what’s happened to her mum.”Kimberley had visited Sheridan, who she had known for several years, in the evening of 19 February 2021.According to police interviews with Sheridan, the pair had been drinking and taking MDMA provided by Sheridan before heading to his bedroom for sex.At Kimberley’s inquest last November, coroner Joanne Kearsley concluded that Kimberley would have been “virtually unresponsive” by the end of that activity.She said Sheridan realised Kimberley had died “no later than 6am” on 20 February but he took no action for a further 30 hours.The coroner added it was a “conscious and calculated decision on Mr Sheridan’s part”.Instead the first person he contacted was his mother Emma Heydon, who eventually called 999 two days later on February 21.But the court heard she had first gone out and bought milk and sandwiches “so he could eat before he was taken into police custody”.The coroner described these actions as “even more callous” than her son’s.”People panic. I can understand that but to go out and get food and come back and sit and eat food, it’s unbelievable,” Kimberley’s auntie Shelly Crooks said.When quizzed by police as to why he had not called 999, Sheridan claimed it was because he was already on police bail for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.He was later jailed for drugs offences, but Kimberley’s family were also expecting him to face charges for failing to call for help.”That’s when we were told it wasn’t against the law,” her auntie said.”I couldn’t believe it, we were shocked and then you start to feel angry because how can you get away with leaving someone for that length of time.”The family have already gained 7,000 signatures for Kimberley’s Law campaign, which they launched in January, so “no other family has to suffer the way they have”.Mum Karrie said: “It’s not going to help Kim now but it could save somebody’s life and that’s what Kim would want, to help other people.”She was an amazing person, she would literally drop anything and help anyone, she was really kind-hearted.”
