Released on Thursday, the call recording for the incident on March 7 consists of a police call hander speaking to Roman, a young boy who called after his mother lost consciousness. Believing his mother to have died, explaining to the handler that she had “(closed) her eyes and she’s not breathing,” Roman then recited his address so that emergency services could arrive.
While children in the United Kingdom are told to call 999, the local emergency services number, from a very young age, the Metropolitan Police note that Roman used a different method to get assistance. He unlocked his mother’s iPhone using Touch ID, pressing his mother’s thumb onto the sensor, then asked Siri for help, resulting in the emergency call.
Due to Roman’s swift actions, officers arrived at the address and forced entry into the house, to find Roman and his brothers near their unconscious mother. Paramedics took the woman to hospital after helping her regain consciousness.
