Paramedic thought Sergei Skripal and his daughter had taken fentanyl overdose when he arrived on scene of Salisbury's Novichok poisonings, inquiry hears
Daily MailA paramedic said he thought Yulia and Sergei Skripal were suffering from a fentanyl overdose when he arrived at the scene of the Novichok poisonings in Salisbury. The former spy and his daughter are believed to have been poisoned after members of Russian military intelligence smeared the nerve agent on Mr Skripal's door handle in Wiltshire. Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia nearly died after Russian agents are believed to have sprayed military-grade chemical Novichok on the front door of their house 'The area of the Maltings underneath Sainsbury's is well-known in the local community as where homeless people reside and potentially some illicit drugs take place there,' he said. He said he told fellow paramedic Louise Woods to administer Naloxone, a medicine that reverses an opioid overdose, to Mr Skripal.
