Not sure that is 'best guess' - or that we can know who is 'nearest and
dearest'
I am sure we can all imagine how confidential information (perhaps kept
hidden for years) could suddenly be available to a family member
witnessing a resus attempt.
All very interesting - not sure that I have come to the right answer in
my mind (and yes I used to routinely teach that relatives should be
allowed in)
Cheers
