WASHINGTONEmergency responders sent to Sen. Lindsey Grahams home Saturday night performed CPR on an individual suffering from cardiac arrest, according to dispatch audio reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m. Saturday, D.C.s Fire and EMS responded to a report of chest pains at a home on South Capitol Street, a few blocks south of the U.S. Capitol, that public records list as one of Grahams addresses.
Minutes later, officials radioed that a caller who reached 911an unidentified woman who said she wasnt in the home and was driving from Baltimore to the addresshad told dispatchers his front door was unlocked.
But crews on scene reported the deadbolt was secured, and said they were getting no answer. Have you tried knocking at the door to see if the patient will answer? the dispatcher asked. Yes, repeatedly, they replied, according to audio captured by openmhz.com.

(48,292 posts)It sounds like he called his relative and complained about chest pains. 911 call was about chest pains. Relative then called an ambulance and started driving to his home. My guess is Lindsey was going to open the door so medics could get in, but dropped dead (heart stopped) before he could open the door.

(70,259 posts)If he had an embolism - which is a reasonable possibility - he might have started feeling sick and reached out to somebody. That somebody - maybe his niece - might have said she was calling 911 and told him to unlock the front door.
Maybe he never made it to the door.
Edited to add: the only thing odd to me about this story is Kash Patel saying the FBI is involved. THAT is weird. But Kash is always taking to social media to promote himself.

(48,292 posts)911 caller told police that Lindsey (presumably) was suffering from chest pains. I think Lindsay called a relative and told them he had chest pains. Relative then called 911. When ambulance arrived Lindsey was already in cardiac arrest (meaning his heart stopped).
