[The Athletic] West Brom fan suffers cardiac arrest and passes away at Hillsborough after poor safety measures (Defibrillator not charged)

Summarized it as follows:

• Mark Townsend, a 52-year-old fan of West Brom, was traveling to see his team play Sheffield Wednesday away at Hillsborough.

• Around the 23rd minute of the game, he collapsed. His nephew and other West Brom fans alerted the stewards immediately, but as only senior stewards carried radios, a number of stewards said they could do nothing to help.

• Five minutes had passed and still no paramedic had come to help. Three West Brom fans – a doctor, an off-duty paramedic and a certified first-aid provider – took the matter into their own hands. The game was not stopped until the 33rd minute when Sheffield Wednesday's captain alerted the referee of the situation.

• Sheffield Wednesday's staff did not provide medical help until the 34th minute. When help finally arrived, it was said another fan collapsed, likely from shock, and did not receive any treatment.

• The defibrillator was not charged and another one had to be connected. No one took responsibility for this.

• Mr Townsend was taken to a hospital in Sheffield, but after 40 minutes of doctors attempting to revive him, it was concluded that he had passed away.

• Neither Sheffield Wednesday nor the medical company hired to work at the ground during matchdays has taken responsibility for the poor safety measures at Hillsborough, especially on the Leppings Lane End.
