Radio DJ helps save the life of listener

A radio presenter's quick actions helped save the life of a distressed listener who contacted the show by text messaging after taking an overdose, reports The Evening Times Online.

"The cry for help from the troubled young woman came via a mobile phone text message to Shereen Tulloch, host of Real Radio's late-night Real Love show, Scotland.

Shereen, 30, received a number of texts from the listener to her live love dilemmas show before a message saying she had taken an overdose.

Shereen said: "The young woman telephoned the show as well and sounded sleepy so I decided just to call the police.

"They were fantastic and were able to use a tracking device to find out where she had called from. "
