    Why has noone asked why the slow deterioration due to
    internal bleeding in the skull could not be corrected? I'm
    not a doctor, but its surely something that happens in an
    accident. Its something that a first aider is told to look
    out for signs of, so surely there's a treatment for it. Did
    the treatment fail in this case?

    Also, was the bleed due to point impact to the skull bone
    structure (which is different in a child to an adult), or by
    internal impact of the brain within the skull due to sudden
    deceleration, which would have happened helmet or not?

    First aiders have no treatment against this - they can
    hardly put pressure on it! In anything involving injury the
    first aider is normally limited to not making it worse i.e.
    leaving it alone!
