British Paramedic Found Guilty and Embarrassed for Stealing 100,000 Won at Death Scene

Caught on Home Cam Putting Something in Pocket

A British paramedic was caught on camera stealing 100,000 won at the scene where a 94-year-old grandmother collapsed and died, causing public embarrassment.

On the 7th (local time), the British daily Daily Mail reported, "A shameless paramedic was caught stealing 60 pounds from the house immediately after a 94-year-old grandmother collapsed and died," describing the situation at the time.

According to the report, on June 29 last year, a 94-year-old woman living in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, collapsed in her garden. Paramedic Mark Titley (58), along with three colleagues, was dispatched to the scene. The paramedics performed emergency treatment for about 20 minutes, but the woman eventually passed away.

However, what Titley did after the no-resuscitation (DNR) order was issued was beyond common sense. He entered the house saying he would look for the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) form and searched the woman’s belongings.

He then found a plastic container with cash on the table, counted 60 pounds (about 100,000 won), and put it in his pants pocket. Then, looking around, he noticed a home camera installed on the ceiling, and, appearing flustered, took out the cash and put it back into the plastic container before tidying up and leaving.

The woman’s son checked the home camera footage and, seeing this scene, immediately reported it to the police, saying it was "disgusting and nauseating." Titley initially denied the charges, claiming he intended to secure the cash to return it to the family, but eventually admitted to theft.

The court sentenced him to 18 weeks in prison with a 12-month suspended sentence. Additionally, he was ordered to perform 120 hours of unpaid work and pay 1.87 million won (about 310,000 won) in compensation.

Titley’s colleague Nathan Hudson said, "We maintain a position of trust when entering someone’s home," adding, "His actions have tarnished our reputation, are very regrettable, and make things much harder for hardworking staff."

He also emphasized, "We are pleased that this case was brought to court and handled by the criminal justice system."
