An EMT is allowed to make the judgment call whether or not an individual is deceased, however the medical examiner will still need to be called out for a final determination. However, the judgment code of EMT's states "they aren't dead until they are warm and dead". If a patient is cold, and they do not have a DNR on file, begin CPR and warm them up. Then you can pronounce and call the medical examiner.
