About

Patrick Dwyer testified for the Commonwealth on Day 3 about treating Cora in the basement at 47 Summer Street. The firefighter/paramedic described finding her without a pulse or breathing, with pale-bluish skin and what looked like burst blood vessels around her eyes. After initially recalling nothing particular around her mouth, he reviewed a document and recalled blood in her mouth.

Dwyer described CPR, assisted ventilation, removal on a backboard, and transport in a Marshfield ambulance to Beth Israel, Plymouth. He said assisted ventilation did not produce independent breathing and one shock did not restore pulses before care was transferred to hospital staff. The defense asked no cross-examination questions.
