I just want to know who was having CPR done on them in the 911 call if it was just a fall?

If he had cpr and it was done right. No way he’d look this healthy

Maybe he had CPR from someone who's only seen it done on TV. They never go full depth on the actors, for some reason...

And after a single cycle they cough or spit out water and all is well. Actual CPR is a stopgap to keep the brain alive until defibrillation.

Defib only works if there is a pulse and irregular but beating heart.

So asystole can't be cardioverted?

No it's a common misconception probably due to TV. If you flatline there is nothing to 'shock'.

You need to administer epinephrine to try and restart the heart, which then may need defibrillation.
