Dr Peter Spencer who performed a home cricothyroidotomy on his wife following a seizure will not face criminal charges but remains barred from practice after a tribunal upheld his emergency suspension. 

Last year, a coroner referred him to prosecutors for investigation over the death of Mayumi Spencer in January 2015.
