You know, I need to do something,\u2019\u201d Tuberville said to reporters on Monday, relaying the account of those involved.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Tuberville said Graham\u2019s scheduler asked if he had called 911 and Graham responded, \u201cno, that\u2019s the reason I called you.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cBy the time she got there, 911 had knocked the door down, and they were working on him,\u201d he said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The senator\u2019s account adds new details to what happened before Graham died, appearing to confirm some aspects of what is known about an emergency phone call about the incident.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            CNN previously reported that emergency responders were dispatched to a DC address for Graham around 8:30 pm ET for a report of someone suffering chest pains, according to audio of the dispatch on Broadcastify. The audio indicates someone called in from Baltimore and was heading to the home.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Graham had just returned home from a trip to Ukraine, and President Donald Trump told CNN they spoke shortly before Graham\u2019s death. The president said they discussed his voter ID legislation \u2014 the \u201cSAVE America Act\u201d \u2014 and Graham\u2019s recent travels.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5670\">The best On walking shoes, according to experts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019m tired because it\u2019s a long trip,\u2019 but other than that, he was \u2013 he was fine,\u201d Trump recalled.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Taylor Reidy, a communications director for Graham, said previously that the DC medical examiner\u2019s office preliminarily found the senator died from complications stemming from an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease \u2013 essentially a tear in the inner layer of aorta, the main artery running through the body. Aortic dissection is not a heart attack, but the symptoms, including chest or stomach pain, shortness of breath and loss of consciousness, often resemble those of more common conditions.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A final autopsy is still pending. And GOP Sen. John Cornyn told reporters he would like to see Graham\u2019s toxicology report released \u201cto rule out any foul play\u201d and put to rest any false theories spreading online.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe, you know, I saw the initial diagnosis of a dissected aorta \u2014 which is terrible, I mean, obviously, that could cause his death \u2014 but given where he was and the sorts of things he was advocating for, I think we just ought to resolve all those questions by seeing what the toxicology reports show,\u201d Cornyn said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Tuberville said that the Graham scheduler who called 911 on Saturday used to work in his office and was at a restaurant watching the World Cup with one of his staffers when Graham called.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cLindsey basically worked himself to death,\u201d Tuberville said. \u201cMost of us have families.
