Do you know him? Yes, I just came to check on him.
Okay, do I need to get medical on the line? What was that?
Do I need to get medical on the line? I guess, yes, I don't know what to do.
Okay, let me get someone on the line, one moment.
Tell me. Tell me what you saw. What?
Fire and medical, what is the address of the emergency?

Are there any weapons involved? No, no.
Okay, and is he changing color?
Is his skin changing color?
Is he responding normally?
Is he breathing normally?
I don't know. I just came, he made a phone call to one of his employees
and they just asked me to come here and check on him.
And I just came in and he's like this by the pool.
The paramedics are on the way to help him now.
Stay on the line and I'll tell you exactly what to do next.
From now on, don't let him have anything to eat or drink.
It might make him sick or cause further problems.
Let him rest in the most comfortable position and wait for help to arrive.
Well, we're on the edge of the pool.
Since he's not alert, I'm going to stay on the line with you as long as I can.
I need you to watch him closely and look for any changes.
If he becomes less awake or starts getting worse, tell me immediately.
Metro, you can go ahead with your questions.
Ma'am, what is his name? Scott Thompson.
I'm sorry, repeat the name. Scott Thompson.
What's his birth name? Stay awake. Stay awake. Stay awake.
Do you know if he was drinking?
No, he has this bottle of...
Okay, gotcha.
And I just have to ask for you for officer safety.
Have you been drinking or doing drugs?
No.
Any weapons for you?
No.
Your birth and last name?
Scott, stay awake. He's passing out now.
I'm sorry, what is it Metro?
70435 and we're active and around.
Thank you.
Ma'am, is he still awake?
Hello?
Is he still awake?
He's awake, but he's like passing out.
Okay, but he's still currently awake, is that correct?
I think so.
Okay, if he passes out, let me know.
I mean, it seems like he's passed out.
Okay, so if he's unconscious, lay him flat on his back and remove anything from under his head.
Tell me when he's flat.
Well, literally he's laying in rocks right now. I don't know how to...
Lay him flat on his back.
Scott?
Ma'am, come here. We've got to lay him flat on your back, flat on your back.
Come here.
Scott? Scott?
He's very, he's almost unconscious.
That's why we're laying him flat on his back, ma'am. Tell me when he's flat.
He is flat.
Okay, place one of your hands on his forehead, your other hand under his neck and tilt his head back.
Tell me when his head is tilted back.
It's tilted back.
Okay, look at him very carefully. Do you still see or hear him breathing?
Breathing is now.
Do you still see or hear him breathing?
Ma'am, can you hear me?
Okay, your phone is cutting out. Do you still see or hear him breathing?
Yes, barely, barely.
Listen, we're going to check his breathing together to make sure that it's all right.
When I say go, I need you to watch him closely and tell me each time his chest rises. Are you ready?
Yes.
Go.
Has he taken a breath?
His legs are literally hanging in the pool and I can't get them out. I think he put...
Has he taken a breath, ma'am? This is important because if he's not breathing, we're going to start CPR.
Has he taken a breath?
I mean, I see his stomach moving up and down.
Okay, so tell me each time you see it go up, starting now.
Okay, now.
Next breath.
Now.
Next breath.
Now.
Next breath.
Now.
You can stop now, thank you.
Again, the paramedics are on the way. I need you to stay right with him.
Make sure his head stays tilted back and continue to check his breathing often.
If he vomits, you need to quickly turn him on his side and clean out his mouth and nose.
I'm going to stay on the line with you until help arrives. Tell me when the paramedics are right there with him or if anything changes.
Okay. I heard the sirens. Should I go out front?
They're there. Is your door unlocked?
I don't remember if I closed it. Can I go run and check?
Okay, then you need to run and check because they're there.
Stay right there.
Oh, my God.
After the units are out there as well, I'm going to go to disconnect.
All right, thank you much.
Thank you.
