Coroner probes ambulance delay as man's family grieves

Key points

• A coroner is investigating the death of a 51-year-old man who waited more than two hours for an ambulance after calling triple zero about chest pains. Paramedics found Nick Bradford dead at his Annerley home in Brisbane's south after midnight.
• His family says they were first told an ambulance arrived within minutes of his call. Health Minister Tim Nicholls has apologised to the family.
• Another man in his 80s died after a three-hour wait at the Mater Hospital, and both cases will be subject to critical incident reviews.
