>According to multiple sources familiar with the 911 call, an elderly woman calmly said her male roommate was on the floor. The woman said she wanted to call for help before the man ended up on the floor, but he refused. The call-taker asked if the man was conscious. While the caller replied yes, she also said he wasn’t responding when she called out to him. The woman was asked if the only reason help was needed was to get him off the floor. She answered by saying the man needed his vital signs checked and other things. She wasn’t sure if he would be willing to go to the hospital. The caller also mentioned she couldn’t lift him because he was dead weight.
Obviously it seems like there were opportunities to catch this earlier, but I think the reality isn't quite as salacious as the title suggests. We'd need to hear the call to make a full decision.
