McConnell Found Unconscious Before Hospitalization, EMS Dispatch Reveals

Newly released emergency dispatch records indicate Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was found unconscious at his Washington, D.C., residence last month before being rushed to a local hospital.

The District of Columbia Fire and EMS dispatch call, made public Wednesday, shows emergency personnel were sent to McConnell’s home shortly before 9 a.m. on June 14.

According to the dispatch, responders were told there was an unconscious patient and that cardiopulmonary resuscitation was underway.

The radio traffic also referenced a possible cardiac arrest and directed an Advanced Life Support ambulance to the scene.

Punchbowl News first reported details from the emergency dispatch communications.

McConnell’s office declined to comment on the contents of the EMS call.

When the incident occurred, a spokesman for the longtime Kentucky senator confirmed only that McConnell had been admitted to the hospital.
