THANK YOU. My 23 yr old son pointed out the same thing to me. He has not yet been hired as an EMT but he has his credentials and has gone on several ride alongs to keep current. He said if they tried to pronounce someone who had 'drowned' DEAD after 10 minutes they would be fired. The last call he was on was a child pulled from the pool. The paramedic that he rode with worked on her for over 30 minutes before she was airlifted and worked on for another solid hour. She did not make it , sadly. But nobody would have called it after 10 minutes.
Thank you for the inside info. So, if WH talked to Cissy at 3:15 then went to take a bath, she could have been found at 3:30. That would give her only minus fifteen minutes alone, give or take with getting people in the room out of there. The call for emergency service was at 3:45, paramedics already in the building, so let's say they get to her room by 3:47 to 3:48. That leaves 7 minutes to call it. Something not adding up. Of course the time Mary Jones was trying CPR may be added into the EMT count time, say from 3:40 (time to discover WH and get her out of the tub, regardless of position) to 3:55. That leaves only 15 minutes.
