First victim died as Big Ben chimed

The first victim of the Westminster terror attack died as Big Ben chimed, after he stepped in heroically to save his wife.

American tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, was London with his wife Melissa to celebrate their wedding anniversary when they were both struck by a car on Westminster Bridge. He pushed his wife away, bearing the full impact of Khalid Masood’s hired Hyundai, an Old Bailey inquest heard. Paramedic James Richards said Mr Cochran died 17 minutes after he arrived at the scene.
