Paramedic revived dead man's bank account

I don't know how different paramedic training is in the U.K., but I'm pretty sure "rifle the dead victim's pockets" isn't what the instructors meant when they talked about bleeding.
Sick David Wright, 50, rifled through the dead man’s wallet after answering a 999 call, a court heard.Sick David showed up on a call when an old guy died in his garden. He must have left his patient dignity gene in the ambulance. He sure didn't have it when he was spending the dead guy's money.
He found a piece of paper with a PIN code and three cards.
But he was caught on a bank’s CCTV still wearing his uniform as he withdrew £500.
He got his richly deserved firing, and probably faces some jail time. Or do they call it gaol? Sick David's lucky this isn't the old days, where stealing that much money would probably get him slammed into the iron maiden five or six times before getting jiggy with some real punishment.
