But who called the paramedics onto the scene in the first place? Did Michael mistakenly presume his wife was too far gone to survive, and attempt to cover his tracks by portraying the "concerned husband" and call the paramedics himself?

I don't have perfect info here, but Michael's story about the 'accident' changes significantly over time. He supposedly called others first, not 911. They talked him into calling 911.

As for pretending to be 'concerned hubby' - absolutely. What would any sleaze monster with a controlling compusive personality, and explosive temper do after nearly killing his wife and not wanting to go to jail?
