My opinion only, I listened to the 911 call (horrible audio) I heard one of the officers stated that Vicky was exhibiting agonal breathing.
In 1985, my Loving grandfather was lying in his bed at the home of my Aunt (my Grandfather's daughter) and I heard his strange breathing. I alerted my Aunt and my Aunt called the hospice caregiver. The caregiver arrived within a few minutes. I had to leave to return to work.
Less than an hour after returning to work I was called on the intercom to go to the front office. I was told that my aunt was coming to pick me up because my Grandfather passed away. I was told to sit there and wait for my Aunt to come and pick me up, I felt like I was going to pass out.
During the car ride with my Aunt, she explained to me that the caregiver told her that the breathing was agonal breathing explaining that he was not really breathing and did not have much longer to live. Something about his brain not getting enough oxygen. I have never forgotten that word since. I hope to never hear that word again pertaining to my Loved ones. I most likely would pass out right there.
So when I heard a responder state that Vicky was having agonal breathing, I knew that she was already "dead". (again, my opinion only)
