> Half of the injuries are likely tied to the CPR. That's going to need some more review. As a paramedic, I've performed CPR more than 400+ times. In less than 5 of them were any ribs broken. Usually on frail elderly people. Separation from the sternum is far more common, but will (apropos of other issues) cause bruising and a painful cough for a couple of weeks. Laceration of the liver? Only once. Also on someone more elderly. Certainly not impossible. But even with five or more firefighters pounding on someone's chest for 10-20 minutes or more, these injuries are rare - let alone all of them in one patient. These cops must have been trying to drive his ribs through the floor with their compressions.
