A four-year-old boy saved his mother's life by using her thumb to unlock her iPhone and then asking it to call 999. 
 
 Roman, who lives in Kenley, Croydon, south London, used the phone's voice control - Siri - to call emergency services. 
 
 Police and paramedics were sent to the home and were able to give live-saving first aid to his mother. 
 
 During the 999 call Roman told the operator he thought his mum was dead because "she's closing her eyes and she's not breathing". 
 
 Roman, his twin brother and a younger brother were all in the house at the time.

 London Metropolitan Police on Wednesday released audio from the child’s call to 999 — the British equivalent of 911 — showing that he exercised quick thinking under frightening circumstances. 
 
 According to police, the boy’s mother had apparently collapsed on the floor and was unresponsive. Despite that, the boy was able to press his mother’s thumb to her phone to unlock it, then use Siri, the iPhone’s voice-activated digital assistant, to dial 999. 
 
 “Hello, I’m Roman,” the boy says, according to a recording of the emergency call. 
 
 When the dispatcher learns Roman is at home, she asks him to get his mother. 
 
 “We can’t,” Roman says plaintively. “She’s dead!” 
 
 “You said mummy was there,” the dispatcher responds calmly. “What do you mean she’s dead?” 
 
 “It means that’s she’s closing her eyes and she’s not breathing,” Roman says. 
 
 The boy is able to recite their home address in Kenley, a district in south London. He then follows the dispatcher’s directions to try to wake his mother up by shaking her. 
 
 “She’s — she’s not waking up,” he says. 
 
 “Give her a good shake,” the dispatcher encourages. “Shout out ‘Mummy!’ ” 
 
 The boy can be heard shouting “Mummy!” loudly. 
 
 “It didn’t work,” he tells the dispatcher in a small voice shortly afterward.

 Metropolitan Police said officers were able to arrive at the home within 13 minutes and provide first aid to the unconscious woman. The department did not elaborate on why the mother had suffered a medical emergency, but said she had since been discharged from a hospital and was back with her children at home. 
 
 The department released the audio from the March 7 call in hopes of encouraging other parents to teach their children to memorize their address and how to get help in an emergency. 
 
 “If you do nothing else today, then I’d implore any parents of young children to sit down with them and make sure they know what to do in this kind of situation and that they know how to contact police or other emergency services in an emergency,” Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Ade Adelekan said in a statement. “As this case demonstrates so poignantly, it could really be the difference between life and death.”

 The boy used his unconscious mother’s iPhone to contact police, according to a statement released this week by London’s Metropolitan Police. The 4-year-old unlocked the device by pressing her thumb to the phone and used Siri to call for help by dialing 999 for emergency services. 
 
 Police also released part of the boy’s heart-breaking call. “Can you go and get mummy?” asked a police call handler, to which the boy, named Roman, replied: “We can’t, she’s dead.”

 The call handler calmly got Roman’s address and asked him to go and shake his mother. “She’s not waking up,” he replied. “Give her a good shake, shout out ‘mummy’!” said the call handler. The boy can be heard shouting “Mummy!” and then told the handler that “it didn’t work.” 
 
 Thirteen minutes after receiving the call, police arrived at the boy’s home in South London and forced entry to the house where they found Roman, his twin brother and younger brother with their unconscious mom. 
 
 Paramedics gave life-saving first aid to the mother, who regained consciousness and was taken to hospital. 
 
 SAMSUNG FINALLY HAS ITS OWN VERSION OF SIRI 
 
 The Metropolitan Police said that the incident, which took place March 7, highlights the importance of teaching children how to deal with emergencies. 
 
 "Hearing this call brings home the importance of teaching your young child their home address and how to call police or emergency services in an emergency situation,” explained Chief Superintendent Ade Adelekan, from the Metropolitan Police’s Command and Control Unit, in the statement. "It's an amazing story and thanks to his quick thinking and by asking 'Siri' for help, this little boy saved his mum's life and it means she is still here and can be extremely proud of him and his brothers." 
 
 This is not the first time that Apple’s Siri voice assistant has come to the rescue. 
 
 Last year a mother in Australia thanked Apple after she used the “Hey Siri” feature to call an ambulance when her 1-year-old daughter stopped breathing. When the call was put through to emergency services, the mother was in a back-and-forth with dispatchers while she performed CPR on her baby. By the time the ambulance arrived the child was breathing again, the BBC reports. 
 
 In 2015, Siri helped save the life of a man in Tennessee who used the voice assistant to call 911 after his truck fell on him.
