Sadie Salt is thought to have choked on a sausage while having lunch with 25 other children at Mini Learners in Radlett, Hertfordshire. She died in hospital on November 12, 2020, two days later.
A petitioner believes the LifeVac device, pictured right, should be available in schools and nurseries More than a thousand people have signed a petition calling for a medical device to be made readily available in a choking emergency. Craig Grant set up the petition shortly after the tragic death of two-year-old Sadie Salt, who passed away in hospital in November after choking on a sausage at her nursery in Radlett. The petition is being supported by Sadie’s family, and Mr Grant believes Sadie’s death was potentially preventable if her nursery had a device called a LifeVac. A LifeVac is described as a non-invasive airway clearance device developed to remove an obstruction when someone is choking. LifeVac say its device has saved more than 100 lives around the world.
