Didn't know. Thought if paramedics show they have to use CPR until a doc declares them dead. I haven't followed Seth Rich since this summer? Whole thing could be cut and pasted or some guys imagination as a first year medical transcriptionist for all we know. Sounds too sketchy anyway one looks at this. I'd say fake news but giving a little leeway on the creative writing.
I some places EMS can pronounce. Some can’t. I can’t tell you how pissed I was to be told “You have to come here right away” only to find out that “we can’t cut him down until you say he’s dead.” I said Bulls!t. If that were the case you should have been doing chest compressions.
