6. Mitch wasn't responsive... someone just placed the phone by his ear, or turned on the speaker...

... and they spoke TO him... not WITH him. It's common (I've heard) for people to talk to the dying even though they are comatose or the brain-dead.

I recall that I used to have "conversations" with each of my parents during their last days in hospice. It was therapeutic for me... I chose to believe they could hear me, but it seems unlikely considering their comatose state and the amount of morphine they had been given to ease the pain of transitioning.
