911 Call Reveals Details Before Pete Rose's Death

Pete Rose, the MLB hits king, was found dead at his Las Vegas home on September 30, with the cause of death later attributed to hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Just hours before his death, employees at Panorama Towers attempted a wellness check, hearing a loud television but receiving no response from the 83-year-old Rose. They contacted his son, Tyler, who subsequently discovered his father deceased upon arrival. The 911 call reveals a chaotic scene, with a worker expressing concerns about Rose's unresponsiveness and a person claiming to be a police officer causing confusion at the scene. Rose had appeared in good health just a day prior at an autograph signing in Nashville, although friends noted he was ‘not himself’ at the time. His passing has sparked a mix of mourning and reflection on his controversial legacy in baseball, where he remains banned from the Hall of Fame due to past gambling offenses.
