A chilling 911 call revealed the moments after Rich Homie Quan’s girlfriend found him unresponsive at their home in Atlanta on Thursday, Sept. 5.
In the audio, obtained by TMZ, the rapper’s girlfriend Amber Williams told a dispatcher that he had fallen asleep on the sofa the night before. She said he was still there when she awoke in the morning.
Williams said she placed a blanket on Quan and took her son to school. When she returned home, she found the rapper still lying on the sofa. She turned him over and he was “foaming at the mouth”.
Williams sounded distraught and confused when the 911 dispatcher told her to find a defibrillator and wait for her instructions. But Williams said she didn’t know what a defibrillator was.
The dispatcher then told Williams to lay Quan flat on his back on the floor to begin CPR. The call ended with Williams insisting Quan didn’t have a heartbeat.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the “Type of Way” rapper’s death to Page Six. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.
No cause of death was announced, but Quan’s friends say he died from an overdose after taking an ecstasy pill.
In a podcast video that resurfaced on Thursday, Quan discussed his depression from declining finances.
“I can’t drop no music. My show money down. I got a dark cloud over my head, bro… I would definitely say I’m probably at the lowest I ever was in my life,” Quan said. “You gotta think man, I went from here to here fast. You know what I’m saying? And I blame myself. It’s growth. I know it was my fault.”
In response to someone asking if drugs were involved, Quan confessed he was addicted to ecstasy, a psychedelic drug also known as MDMA or Molly.
“Oh hell yeah, I was on Molly everyday,” Quan said. “Listen, geeked up, piped down. Listen, bro, I felt like I couldn’t do a show or a song without being on Molly.”
