If you're a layman, how do you know for SURE by looking, that someone you found, who you didn't expect to be dead, who you'd only see a few hours earlier, is actually dead? Supposedly the eye was hidden.. the call was 'reportedly' called in as a 'cardiac arrest'.. if you didn't touch the body to know it was already different and cold, then wouldn't you want to HURRY to make that call just in case there was a thread of a chance he could still be saved? This is supposedly your dad who you loved (perhaps almost as much as himself?? haha)
For the initial 'narrative' to have included WM's historic alcoholism, (as evidenced by the paramedic's assumption that WM's throat exploded as it does with some cases of alcoholism), we can assume that DM and possibly MB were promoting the alcoholism factor, but why do that on its own, without accompanying depression, otherwise, what was DM prompting the cause to be? Unless he just assumed that it was obvious right off the bat that the man had shot himself, and then out of the blue the paramedic starts going on about throats exploding, to explain the blood? What a whacked SNAFU!
