Police officers responding to
a report of a possible death
shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday
found a woman in "distress"
at the 27-room manor, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department...and called in paramedics to administer aid
The police were responding to a death! Why would they call in medics?
* I don't know sounds lke she may have had a pulse. Why would they have brought the cervical collar if she was dead? :banghead:
Remember her trainer said she was a fighter!
Just an FYI, it is standard for police and medics to both be dispatched in cases like this one. Generally speaking, if there was obvious signs of death (decomposition, rigor) then medics could be cancelled by LE prior to arrival. Police officers in California generally receive basic first aid and don't have the
authority or training to pronounce someone deceased, again unless it is real obvious. Even in cases, such as hangings, where it is somewhat obvious, medics have the equipment to determine that the individual is deceased. Given what LITTLE facts we have (GRRRR) CPD officers could have been covering their butts, by calling medics. But on the flip side why would they want more people in the crime scene than necessary??:banghead::banghead:
