In the hospital that I worked in, if a patient died in the ambulance then the doctor from the casualty department would go out to the ambulance to pronounce the death as DOA - dead on arrival. The deceased would then be taken straight to the mortuary.
Of course I would have no idea what would have been entered on the cert.
Very sad way to go though, poor soul.
