It could be. I thought I saw them once at the site of a horrible car accident, one kneeling beside each thrown body. They could have been EMTs, but since the bodies were all covered with sheets including the faces, they must have been already dead; so why would an EMT need to watch over each body?

Sam Kinison died from injuries sustained in a car crash. According to his wife, he was pulled out of the car and seemed to be looking at something beyond the people trying to help him with his injuries. He started talking to someone who wasn’t there and then he died.
