First you only perform CPR on someone with no heart beat or breathing; in other words dead. Then you transport to hospital until doctor declares dead. Done everyday in nyc.

That's really way too simplified. At least here (not NY) we have a defined checklist to determine whether to initiate resuscitation. If that is determined we never transport and it becomes the responsibility of the ME from that point on.

But if they find a dead guy, laying in a cell, how do they call cardiac arrest and start performing cpr for that, and all the news outlets start screeching cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest just means heart stops breathing. Doesn't mean active heart attack. If they had no idea how long he had been down, starting CPR is not unreasonable.

Especially a dead man with a noose around his neck? What fucking genius walks into that scene and is like "yep, this man obviously suffered a fatal heart attack."?

If you were supposed to be watching someone and found them dead wouldn't you be performing Frankenstein-level recessation to cover your ass?

They wouldn't...medics are quicker than Fuck to call a code. Lividity would've set in already...they're not working that one at all.

Edit to say they would cover the face unless doing active CPR on transport too.

I don't know about NY, but here if OSD (obvious signs of death) which are clearly defined are present we don't start resuscitation. As soon as that is determined, EMS is released and it becomes the responsibility of the Medical Examiner. We never transport the body. We're long gone before the ME field agent shows up.

If you find a PT like this hanging from the neck, what would be the OSD to not attempt resuscitation?
