First of all why is there a banner ad for an injury law firm superimposed over the photo of a real crash scene? Did L.A. County FD or CHP approve that? That’s the tasteless thing I’ve seen in a long time. Then, and probably more importantly, how do you know he died of a heart attack? I think you are repeating what CHP announced, but unless I’m wrong, the LA County Medical Examiner Coroner’s office has yet to determine cause of death. They are the only ones who can do that. I don’t care if this guy was in full arrest when they arrived that doesn’t mean he died of a heart attack.
Now back to the injury lawyer ad on a crime scene, fatality accident photo? What the….?
