Paramedics responded to a ‘cardiac arrest’ at Mitch McConnell’s home on day of hospitalization

Main Idea: Paramedics reportedly responded to a possible cardiac arrest at Mitch McConnell’s home on the day his office said he was hospitalized, but the reason for his hospital stay has not been made public.

Key Points:

• Police scanner audio said paramedics were sent to a report of an “unconscious” person at a known McConnell address.
• McConnell’s office said he was admitted to the hospital and was receiving good care.
• His office later said he was still working with staff but would not vote that week.
• McConnell, 84, has had several health problems in recent years, including a hospital stay for flu-like symptoms and past falls.
