Meyer 911 call

Meyer 911 call latest updates :- Florida coach Urban Meyer complained of chest pain and said his side was tingling before he was hospitalized after the SEC championship game earlier this month, according to a 911 recording.

Meyer’s wife told an Alachua County dispatcher that her 45-year-old husband had a pulse but wasn’t talking when she contacted emergency officials at 4:27 a.m. on Dec. 6, hours after the Gators returned home from their 32-13 loss to Alabama.

“My husband’s having chest pains,” Shelley Meyer said. “He’s having chest pains, he just woke up in the middle of the night and said he’s having chest pains.”

Shelley Meyer said her husband had taken a sleeping pill that night and had suffered chest pains before. She repeatedly tried to rouse Meyer, who was lying on his stomach on the floor.

“Urban, Urban, talk to me,” she says.

The Gainesville Sun posted an audio recording and incident detail report of the call on its Web site late Wednesday. Shelley Meyer’s name wasn’t included on the recording, but the female caller identifies herself as Meyer’s wife.

Initial reports indicated that the Florida coach checked into a Gainesville hospital, where he was treated for dehydration and released. Shelley Meyer told dispatchers that her husband was breathing and appeared to be grunting.

“He almost sounds like he’s kind of trying to cry,” she said.

Meyer abruptly resigned last Saturday citing health problems, then decided he would instead take an indefinite leave of absence. He plans to coach the fifth-ranked Gators in the Sugar Bowl against No. 4 Cincinnati on Friday.

Meyer said during a news conference Sunday that he might need a procedure to alleviate chest pains that started four years ago, but would not say if he had a heart condition. He insisted he didn’t have a heart attack and refused to say whether doctors told him to step away.

“I’d rather not get into that,” Meyer said.

Meyer acknowledged that part of the problem is his tireless work ethic and his need to put the weight of the program solely on his shoulders. When asked whether he plans to be back on the sideline next season, Meyer said, “I do in my gut believe that will happen.”
