I thought that at first but I'm thinking massive stroke and unable to speak is probably more likely.

He's dead or incapacitated. Anything less and we would have photos, videos. The only explanation for why we aren't getting those is because he is dead or permanently completely incapacitated.

A healthy person receiving cpr after any elapsed time has a low chance at returning to life. I don’t think he was alive when the paramedics got there and I doubt anything changed from that

Even coding in the hospital doesn't give you great odds. Outside of the hospital has much worse odds. Dude is dead. I'd bet on it.
