Shoddy reporting.
That's the fault of Fox news.
Much better article from the Time here...

This is his apparent disability.
Mr Baker, who used sticks to help to him walk after undergoing hip replacement surgery, made the emergency call to the South East Coast Ambulance Service headquarters in Lewes in the early hours of November 29.
Hip replacement? That is what deemed this poor soul to “not worthy of saving”? Poor thing.
If the elderly or disabled have no voice (family who looks after them), they are as good as dead.
So, not to detract from the horror of the story, but was he disabled or recovering from surgery? Because there is a big difference between the two, really.
I find it more interesting the names of the two men arrested were not released. None of the UK papers provide the identity of the ambulance men.
