That’s what I was looking for. The photo.
I stand corrected on my previous post about getting wheeled out uncovered.
Quickly looking over some other coverage indicates that he was not pronounced until he was at the hospital. They transported saying ‘cardiac arrest’, which could have been a result of strangulation I suppose.
I’m going with ‘most likely’ for at least a little while.
On a positive note, maybe we will finally get a perp walk. Starting with whomever was in charge of monitoring him during suicide watch.
As KitJ points out, they are wheeling the body out in public, and this just isn’t done.
If a person is pronounced dead, seems to me they wheel the body out with the face covered.
The guy on the gurney looks like he boxed or fought a lot, look at that ear.
