4-year-old uses Touch ID, Siri to call emergency services for unconscious mother

This resourceful, brave 4-year-old boy helped save his mother's life.

Updated March 2017: This article has been updated with information about the recent iPhone 108 "prank" and using Siri to contact emergency services.

A 4-year-old boy in London saved his mom's life by calling emergency services on her iPhone.

The woman reportedly fell unconscious in their home with only 4-year old Roman, his twin brother, and a younger brother there with her. The boy used his mother's thumb to unlock her iPhone and asked Siri to place a call to emergency services. Paramedics arrived a mere 13 minutes later. The woman reportedly regained consciousness in their home and was taken to the hospital for further treatment.

Police chose to release an audio recording of Roman's call to emergency services in the hopes that it'll encourage parents to teach their children how to respond in an emergency situation. You can listen to the audio in this article from the BBC:
