Are paramedics in the US allowed to call time of death?
In most cases in the United States, paramedics are not authorized to pronounce death. Only a medical professional licensed by the state (doctor, coroner, nurse, etc...) can legally pronounce death. Paramedics are, however, allowed to initiate resuscitation as appropriate based on the patient's condition regardless of vital signs.CPR - Related Articles
