The paramedics took hold of the corpse,

I know an ambulance man (not a paramedic though). He was telling me that in order for him to pronounce someone dead at the scene, the head has to be a minimum distance from the body. He wasn't certain, but thought it might be 2 feet.

Yup, if your head is a mere 6 inches from the rest of you, they are technically supposed to attempt resuscitation.

I guess if you are a doctor or paramedic then you don't need such a clear case of decapitation, but the rules are there because of litigation attempts in the past where no attempt has been made to resuscitate people who are very very dead.
