blike Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blike Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
