FULL TITLE. Teen dies after Chicago paramedics allegedly mistakenly pronounce him dead, cover him with white sheet

A teenage boy in Chicago died nearly a day after he was reportedly shot in the head at a party, then presumed dead and covered with a white sheet for at least an hour until bystanders saw the 17-year-old move and began shouting at paramedics to help him.

Erin Carey suffered a “catastrophic” wound after gunfire broke out at a party in Chicago’s University Village neighborhood just before 5 a.m. Monday. Carey was among six people shot that night, FOX32 Chicago reported.

"He was shot in the head and the prognosis is not good," Chicago police First Deputy Superintendent Anthony Riccio told reporters on Monday. "I do understand that paramedics looked at him, believed him to be deceased, covered him with that sheet and moved on to another individual who was nearby who was also shot."

But at least an hour later, people at the scene began seeing Carey’s arms and legs move.

“He ain’t dead,” a woman shouted, according to the Chicago Tribune.

This stuff happens. Naturally the paramedics and the city will be sued for millions.

I rather suspect that even if immediate medical attention was provided to this teen - he's still be dead as of today.

I’m a former Army Medic and EMT, dead folks “move” all the time. Could have been a random electrical impulse.

"No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment."

And to add insult to terminal injury, that sheet was probably cotton.

Well, if he hadn’t died, the guy who shot him probably wouldn’t have been admitted to the gang.

I’m sure there’s still the opportunity for a couple to change columns.

"...after gunfire broke out at a party..."

I always hate it when a party ends that way.
