14 years of corrections experience here. If I find someone who I suspect or being dead, I perform CPR until paramedics arrive since I do not have the medical expertise to declare him dead. The medical staff might have someone capable of pronouncing him dead, but not likely on the weekend during off hours. Paramedics can arrive, call an ER doctor, describe the condition, then they can pronounce him dead.

I've seen this process many times.
