I'm pretty sure they are legally required to take someone to a hospital where they must be pronounced dead by a doctor after they've tried to resuscitate them. I think the only way they can pronounce someone dead at the scene is if they're decapitated or something where it is completely, not a chance of living dead. I am sorry for your loss though and having to witness the death of your mother in what is supposed to be such a happy place and time in your life. I'm sure it could not have been near easy for you and I'm sure still difficult to this day. But there are some pretty crazy comments where it seems people are making something out of nothing. Not everyone has to be a fan of Disney. If you don't like it - don't go or don't watch the movies. But don't take the fun out of it for everyone else. Find something better to do...
