Stancyk said Thomas breathing was not normal. I told the EMT to clear his (Thomas) airway, Stancyk said. His pulse, blood pressure improved, he was breathing and he was a viable patient. Stancyk said because of the possibility of neck or head injury to Thomas, a C-collar was placed around his neck and we rolled him onto a backboard, transferred him to a gurney and took him to the ambulance. Asst. District Atty. Jim Tanizaki asked Stancyk whether Thomas was “responsive” when he first saw him. Stancyk: No. From the Fullerton Transportation Center, Stancyk and his crew headed to St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton. But Stancyk said, halfway to the hospital, Thomas’ breathing “stopped. Stancyk: We used CPR and then brought him into the hospital. Tanizaki: Did he regain consciousness when you were with him? Stancyk: No. Once at the hospital, Stancyk testified that hospital personnel intubated [Thomas] as soon as he was brought in, and I was kicked out.
