Parents thankful to Lathora

At first, his parents were shocked as they were not aware of what was wrong when police and ambulance crew knocked their doors. The crew told his parents that they had received a call about an unresponsive male at the property. They then immediately rushed to the upstairs to check on Aidan and found him 'disorientated'.

Jackson's mother said that they were at home watching television and he was upstairs in his room. Jackson first had a seizure in May 2019. His mother said that they were extremely thankful for Lathora's quick action and shocked that they were downstairs and did not know anything that was happening.
