Read before he was conscious and talking when medical help arrived, but never two hours. Damn. Wonder what he told them?

Edit: FWIW, found a copy of a police report. Could be helpful if someone wants to FOIA anything collected?

So according to that report, respond to shots fired was around 4:20 AM, Rich was conscious and breathing. He was pronounced dead at the hospital just before 6 AM. So this at least proves that he was alive for ~2 hours after he was shot.

the report posted shows a time of just after 7

Does it? Or do they just wait until people get to the hospital to officially pronounce them dead?

They usually wait to do it at the hospital unless it is beyond resuscitation, such as decapitation, or burned beyond recognition for example (although once I was present at an attempt to resuscitate a burned beyond recognition case and I can tell you that person was pronounced dead at least an hour and half after it actually happened.)

If they were doing an investigation they would have put the time of death based on the body temp but that would be the police not the doctors and seems like the police didn't get involved.

No, they don't wait to get to hospital before pronouncing someone dead.

It doesn't take 2 hours to get a man to the hospital at 4AM in Washington DC
