Pointless deaths

Father killed daughter in crash as he drove at 110 mph to 'teach her a lesson'.

'He was annoyed at being called out at short notice at that time of night. He was deliberately driving far faster than he should have been,' said prosecutor Ieuan Bennett.

Kaylee was not wearing a seatbelt and she was hurled from the car when it struck a concrete bollard and flipped over.

She died of catastrophic head injuries.  The father was in a coma for 12 days with permanent brain damage.  Now he's in jail.

"Death by binge drinking is  a disgusting, pointless way to way to die"

it's 9 pm on a Friday night and throughout Britain people just like him are drinking themselves into oblivion. The only difference is that he has stopped breathing.

His three friends dial 999 when they cannot wake him, but they have no idea just how serious it is.

As Lian Withers, a first-response paramedic with the West Midlands Ambulance Service, arrives, they roll their eyes and joke: 'He loves his lager.'
