Here's the thing: if the person is so sick that they're unable to provide us with info, it means that they probably came by ambulance. EMS crews don't look for phones, purses, eyeglasses, or such personal effects. If it is a vehicle crash then law enforcement has the phone, and it is them who tell us about the ICE contact. Otherwise, yeah, sometimes we find a phone in someone's belongings...it's honestly not common.
