Kyle Busch was struggling to breathe, overheating and coughing up blood before he died from a ‘severe’ illness this week, 911 audio has revealed.
Busch, one of the most decorated drivers in NASCAR history, tragically died at the age of 41 on Thursday after being hospitalized with a mystery ‘severe’ illness. A cause of death has not yet been announced.
During an emergency call placed around 5:30pm Wednesday, a 911 caller was heard urgently requesting an ambulance to a training facility in Concord, North Carolina – where the racing legend was preparing for this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 event in Charlotte.
Audio of the chilling call, which has been released by TMZ, captures the caller saying that Busch had ‘shortness of breath’ and was ‘very hot’ before his passing.
‘[He] thinks he’s going to pass out, and he’s producing a little bit of blood, coughing up some blood,’ the caller added.
