Defibrillator sets patient's clothes on fire 

NEW LONDON, Connecticut (AP) 

--A spark from a defibrillator set a woman's clothing on fire when a
paramedic tried to restart her heart in an ambulance. Brenda Jewett,
47, was pronounced dead at a hospital Monday. 

An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of her death. Neither
the paramedic nor other members of the ambulance crew were injured by
the fire. Prosecutors asked the state police, fire marshals and the
state Office of Emergency Medical Services to investigate. "I've been
in this business 20 years and I've never heard of something like
this," said Leonard Guercia Jr., 

The state's EMS director. Mary Newman of the National Center for
Early Defibrillation in Pittsburgh said the center had never heard of
such a case before. She said she doubted the fire or the
defibrillator caused Jewett's death. "When you defibrillate a person,
they are already dead," she said.
