Two teen boys murdered Olly after recruiting a schoolgirl to lure him to the field.
A new Channel 4 documentary opens with the chilling 999 call alerting police to the horror knifing.
The recording opens with the ambulance operator asking if the patient is conscious and breathing.
The sobbing female caller replies: “Yes, he is – but he’s been stabbed. In the back, he’s actually got a chest wound.”
They added that the victim was bleeding very heavily – and was a teenager.
The caller said: “He’s bleeding from his mouth now and I think he’s actually going to go into cardiac arrest.”
The ambulance operator told the caller to start doing chest compressions.
Two 14-year-old boys, one of whom was 13 at the time of the killing, were convicted of Olly’s murder in January 2021.
The schoolgirl who lured the teen to his death was convicted of manslaughter.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, knew Olly in real life, but had not met the two other lads in person until the day of the killing.
She had been communicating with the boys on Snapchat, from which cops recovered almost 2,000 voice notes sent from the teens.
Many of the clips were found to be shocking and gave vital clues into the build up to Olly’s death.
One, sent by the teen girl the day before Olly died, said: “By the way, I’m setting up Olly tomorrow.
“[One of the boys] just wants me to set up so then he’s going to go and bang him and pattern him and s***.
“I’m so excited, you don’t understand.”
Reading Crown Court also heard how Olly was a good student and not a troublemaker at all.
Thames Valley Police added that evidence of bullying and violent videos featuring knives found on the killers’ phones was just “the tip of a very large iceberg”.
Mum Amanda said she expected Olly back before dark but a boy he knew knocked on the door shortly after he left to tell them he had been stabbed.
Stuart and Olly’s older sister found him lying in a pool of blood in the field and Amanda followed.
He died in the field after friends, neighbours and dog walkers all tried to help.
Stuart told the documentary: “His hand was lifeless and cold. They got him onto a trolley.
“You’ve always got hope but I understood there was no chance.”
Amanda said: “There was a certain feeling of just leave him alone, he’s gone.
“The lady who was the surgeon, an hour and a half after he’d left the house, said I’m ever so sorry.
“In my mind I was thinking – Why would they have done this?”
Stuart added: “I still look for his feet in the morning at the end of the bed because they would hang over the end.”
