Overdose

I get called with another officer to a overdose. Gary took all his medications and can't be awakened. Gary is unconscious in recliner. Gary is 500 lbs. He is on his back and barely breathing, the EMTS are a ways out. We try to roll him on is side, but his weight and the recliner make it impossible. I suggest we dump the recliner on it's side. it works and the recliner is pushed aside. EMT arrive and we assist with the lifting onto the gurney and into the ambulance, the two EMTs can't handle it.
Gary lives far from the hospital and the helicopter can't take him because of the wait. He is rushed to the hospital, where he doesn't improve. Gary is taken off live support, he dies.
