Just got ahold of the 911 call from Shelley Meyer from the night of Dec. 6, when her husband, coach Urban Meyer, was unconscious at 4:27 a.m. from their Gainesville home. Here is the audio of the 911 tape that reveals Meyer has chest pains while passed out on the floor. The report also states Meyer had a tingling sensation on his side before collapsing.
Shelley can be heard repeatedly saying “Urban, Urban, Urban, talk to me,” according to the recording from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.
Shelley tells the 911 operator that “my husband’s having chest pains.” Shelley, talking in a calm tone, eventually sees Meyer moving and breathing but “he’s not talking to me.”
The operator asks Shelley to try to wake him again. Shelley is on a land line while Urban was lying behind the bed.
“Urban, talk to me please,” Shelley said. “I see him breathing.”
The call was 1 minute, 49 seconds before fading into static. Paramedics arrived at Meyer’s house at around 4:40 a.m. Shelley said Meyer recently had taken the sleeping pill Ambien. Meyer’s vitals were positive despite being unresponsive.
The crew rushed Meyer to the hospital before 5 a.m.
Florida spokesman Steve McClain said on Dec. 6 that Meyer entered the hospital for dehydration. Meyer has admitted to chest pains, but has refused to comment on any specific heart issues or whether doctors recommended that he stay away from coaching.
Meyer resigned from his job on Saturday evening only to soften his tone less than 20 hours later, saying Sunday he’s taking a leave of absence.
