The 911 call leading up to Kyle Busch‘s tragic death has been released… and it’s absolutely devastating.
In case you didn’t hear the sad news, the NASCAR legend tragically passed away on Thursday following a sudden hospitalization. Just hours after it was announced he’d be missing the upcoming Coca-Cola 600, his team confirmed his sudden passing. He was 41. He leaves behind his wife, Samantha Busch, and their two kids, Brexton and Lennix. So sad.
On Wednesday, just one day before his death, Kyle suddenly collapsed in one of the Chevrolet racing simulators in North Carolina. This prompted someone to call 911 at around 5:30 p.m. local time, and the audio is haunting. The clip was obtained by TMZ, and a person can be heard saying in it:
“I’ve got an individual that’s shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he’s going to pass out, and he’s producing a little bit of blood, coughing up some blood.”

Scary!
The caller confirmed that Kyle was conscious at the time of the call and was lying on a bathroom floor, adding:
“He is awake. He’s awake. He’s awake.”
This person requested EMTs turn off their sirens as they approached the testing facility, and asked them to come around to the side entrance. They clearly didn’t want this to be a big spectacle.
Just one day later, Kyle passed away. Heartbreaking. He was so young.

It’s not been confirmed what exactly happened or what caused his death, but we just can’t imagine what his family is going through right now. Our heart is with his family, loved ones, and fans.
Rest in peace, Kyle.
