Georgia, 28, suffered a sudden drop in blood pressure caused by postural hypotension and severe dehydration, leaving her unconscious. South Yorkshire Police handler Jen turned the situation “into a game” to avoid “giving instructions that might have frightened or confused him”, telling the toddler to tickle his mother to wake her up.
