If they had a catheter into the Antecubital, it could lose a lot of blood during CPR. The body was between rigor mortis and dependent lividity when they found it, which is weird. If he was that far along, they wouldn't have started CPR, IV's and put in an ET tube, and the blood wouldn't have been that fresh either. Not fresh enough for it to be pumped out of a catheter during CPR.. on a body that's already in rigor mortis.

maybe i'm overlooking something obvious, but you don't start lifesaving treatments on a body that has an unknown time of death and rigor mortis.. you call the coroner to pronounce death.. and you don't get that kind of blood out of it.
