Whatever the circumstances, my condolences to the family and friends.
I think it might’ve been an alien body. That’s why it’s hush-hush and don’t let the public know.
It doesn’t take 3 ambulances for one body. Were the AMR folks trying to make a point regarding the current contract dispute with County Fire?
