The song "61 Minutes of Pleading" is based on the death of Loraine Whiting, who bled to death over the course of an hour while on the phone to a 999 police call handler after being shot by her husband, who had then shot himself dead and lay next to her.[2] Emergency services personnel outside the property considered it too dangerous to enter, following a recent similar incident in which a gunman had forced his injured hostage to claim he was dead in order to lure emergency crews in, before shooting dead two ambulance crew members and a police officer.[3]
