47. I am not going to rush to judgement

They probably didn't have a face shield or breathing apparatus on hand. If they knew the victim had prosecuted lots of high profile Russians, they may have had good reason to fear she'd been poisoned and good reason to fear that doing CPR, which requires mouth to mouth contact, could bring them into contact with the poison and kill them, too. They may have worried the poison could be transferred from skin to skin contact, too, which would make them fearful of chest compressions if they didn't have latex gloves on hand.
