No, it was EMT's who declared him dead on the scene. When I took my EMS course over the summer, they told us that if his body was intact, let a doctor declare him dead, even if he's blue, no pulse, and not breathing.

 

Emergency medical technicians had declared 29-year-old Larry D. Green dead almost two hours earlier, after he was hit by a car.

Actually, now that I read it again,

 

"Medical examiner J.B. Perdue was called to the accident scene Monday but did not examine Green then."

 

It's hard to say from that sentence alone though.
