A paediatric consultant said she had never seen a patient with a core temperature as low as 25C who had survived, saying her condition was 'more consistent with someone who had fallen into the North Sea'.

Paramedics found the girl sat on a couch at her home with her eyes open but unresponsive. She was blue and frothing at the mouth, the court heard.
