You don't even know the circumstances of what you're arguing over and you think your superficial understanding encompasses the circumstances of his accident and his state's laws on this?
Piper was checked by 4 teams of paramedics and left in his car for dead under a tarp (nobody was rushing him to the hospital) when the other church man came along and prayed and sang over him.
Quote from Piper's book "90 Minutes in Heaven":
"The state law said they had to pronounce me dead officially before they could remove my body from the scene of the accident. Unless they declared me dead, an ambulance would have to transport my body to a hospital. That county didn't have a coroner, but I learned later that a justice of the peace could declare me dead, and then they could remove my body."
Piper wrote also "the collision occurred at 11:45 a.m. The EMTs became so busy working with the others involved, that it was about 1:15 p.m. before they were ready to move me. They checked for a pulse again.
I was still dead."
Read the book before presenting your assumptions like they are facts.
Another quote in case the above wasn't clear enough.
"The EMTs pronounced me dead as soon as they arrived at the scene. They stated that I died instantly."
