Senator Tommy Tuberville on Monday revealed his former staffer called 911 after Senator Lindsey Graham said he was experiencing chest pains.
The 911 caller was previously described as a woman in Baltimore. She told first responders that she was not inside Lindsey Graham’s home but thought the door was unlocked.
Lindsey Graham’s door was locked, and first responders had to force their way into his home.
“The preliminary examination findings were: Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,” Graham’s office said, according to the medical examiner.
“My former scheduler was Lindsey’s scheduler and one of my staff members was with that scheduler the night Lindsey called. He called to basically say, ‘listen, I’m having chest pains. I need to do something. Did you call 911?’…. and so she called 911,” Tuberville explained.
“By the time she got there, 911 had knocked the door down,” Tuberville said. “They were working on him.”
“Lindsey basically worked himself to death,” Tuberville added.
