According to various reports and the Criminal Justice Branch Report (whose timeline of events has since been proven to be disturbingly flawed, but then again it is probably based on officers statements alone):
Officers arrived at 01:25
Paramedics dispatched at 01:33 and arrived at 01:43
ALS paramedics a few moments later.
So somewhere within that 18 minute time period he died.

I don't understand your assumption here? In what state? Are you suggesting this death was unpreventable and inevitable? Not having a go. Just confused by what you're getting at.
Maybe they could have helped in a small way like told the cops to get their knee off his shoulder/neck area for the 45 seconds before he died thus enabling him to breathe more freely?
Maybe they could have
actually monitored the person?
Administer oxygen? Which when they arrived wasn't been done although the firefighters were already there and there was oxygen at hand.
Paramedic at the scene later complained to his supervisors about the actions/inactions of the firefighters.
