Concerns are growing for an autistic woman’s oxygen supplies as she enters a third day of her perpetual apology loop, emergency services have said.
Beth Hapworth, 21, initially apologised to girlfriend Emma Bernard, 23, for Bernard’s period pains. On being told “you don’t need to apologise for that,” Hapworth immediately apologised for apologising, and has been doing so ever since.
A representative for the search and rescue team, Graeme Hart, 45, said: “She hasn’t paused for breath in three days. It’s amazing she’s still alive.”
“We’re trying to extract her,” he continued. “But we’re finding it hard to get past her whirlwind of apologies. We’ve told her family to expect the worst.”
Hapworth said: “I’m really difficult to rescue, I’m so sorry!”
