Malibu Police reveal to RadarOnline.com the 66-year-old rocker was found unconscious, and went into cardiac arrest — but they were able to gain a pulse.
Cops also confirm to RadarOnline.com that Petty was then "transported to Santa Monica hospital with an unknown condition.”
According to reports, when he arrived to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.
