In Indiana, EMTs are not authorized to declare death. Instead, they can pronounce death in specific circumstances, such as in cases of obvious death where there are clear signs that resuscitation is futile. However, a physician or a licensed healthcare provider must officially declare death in other situations. EMTs typically report findings to a higher medical authority for confirmation.
