Between her tears and heartbroken sobs, Adams' girlfriend tells the emergency dispatch operator that the football player was doing "crazy breathing" and was "not talking at all." When asked if she could wake Adams up, the girlfriend wailed "he's not responding to me."
The twenty-six year old's autopsy revealed that he had an enlarged heart which led to his cardiac arrest.
Marcia Kelley-Clark, chief deputy coroner for Greenwood County, said the heart issue had been undetected: "Nobody was aware of any kind of medical condition."
