LOUISBURG, N.C. -- A paramedic who was suspended by the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services for mistakenly declaring a Franklin County man dead six months ago could regain his license, officials said Friday.
Paul Kilmer had his paramedic license suspended in January, days after he and other responders zipped Larry Green into a body bag and transported him to the Franklin County morgue following a traffic accident.
A medical examiner later saw that Green was still breathing, and he was taken to the hospital. He now lives in a rehabilitation facility.
Kilmer appealed the suspension to the state Office of Administrative Hearings, but he withdrew the appeal Friday after reaching a settlement with the state.
