I was an EMT and we were taught you do CPR until pronouncement, except if there's obvious signs of mortality, of which decapitation is one. Livor/rigor mortis. Shoes off. All obvious signs of mortality.

    I was once told by an EMT that you do CPR unless the spine is clearly severed in any place. Basically the person doesn't have to be cut in half at the neck. Anywhere above legs counts.
