I’m wondering if the paramedics offered and she refused. Paramedics can’t forcibly transport someone against their wishes unless they cannot make a sound judgement (intoxication, insanity etc). Of course, they certainly could have tried to talk her into it by explaining that they really feared for her life.
That's a possibility. Of course, if this was LA County (and I'm sure it probably was), that would be public information, recorded on the station's daily log. You might think that someone would mention that - either the station in this report, or even the LA County Fire & Rescue when addressing media inquiries.
