Best Answer

Sometimes, however in most circumstances the Casualty has died on route to Hospital.

This depends on whether the deceased was alive when they were loaded into the ambulance. If a patient has been pronounced dead at the scene, then the ambulance doesn't transport. In rural settings some exceptions can be made at the discretion of the paramedics.
