“He was in full arrest and paramedics were administering CPR when he arrived in the emergency room at”

I thought he just dropped dead at the scene.

Autopsy: Breitbart died of heart failure, had enlarged heart

http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/16/politics/breitbart-autopsy/index.html

Breitbart, 43, died on March 1 after collapsing on a sidewalk in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood. He was transported to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and pronounced dead about 40 minutes later when emergency physicians were unable to revive him.

According to the autopsy report, Breitbart had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2011 after being rushed by ambulance to the same hospital because he had shortness of breath.

He was released from the hospital after a few days in 2011, and he began exercising and dieting, the report said.

The 6-foot-3, 251-pound Breitbart was considered “a light drinker,” and he had 0.04 gram percent of alcohol in his blood and heart at the time of his death, the autopsy report said.

If you haven’t been dead long, they give you CPR. A couple weeks ago a Premier League soccer player was “dead” on the field. They gave him CPR and eventually defib. He came back to life after 6 minutes of death.

What about the man who was at the scene who said Breitbart’s face was red as a beet?

And IIRC, there were reports of his face turning “cherry-red”... whatever that means. Could it have come from choking for air/ respiratory collapse? Poison? Just asking. Anyone know?

They were unable to get any signs of life out of him either at the scene or at the hospital, according to the ER report. He was dead when they found him, never got any signs of life out of him, but they didn’t pronounce him dead until all means had been exhausted in the ER.
