Optus outage: Police give major update on baby linked to triple-0 catastrophe
[]
7NEWS
Police have determined the Optus triple-0 outage is unlikely to have contributed to the death of an eight-week-old baby, initially thought to be one of four people who died during the incident.
The update comes after the husband of a 68-year-old woman who died at home alone after he was unable to reach emergency services during the outage, spoke out about the tragedy.
Optus chief executive Stephen Rue is expected to give another update on Sunday afternoon.
“Optus will need to answer to those families and I imagine there will be serious legal ramifications,” he said.
Earlier, Mr Rue admitted at a press conference that two separate complaints about the service not working were made to the company’s contact centre about 9am AEST on Thursday but not acted upon.
