In an exclusive 911 call obtained by Us Weekly, Quinton Aaron's 'spiritual wife' Margarita described the actor being unresponsive, unable to move, and shaking uncontrollably before he was hospitalized and put on life support. Aaron, known for his role in the 2009 film The Blind Side, had been dealing with back pain and was not eating much in the days leading up to the incident.

Why it matters

The 911 call and subsequent hospitalization of the high-profile actor have raised concerns about his health and wellbeing, as well as questions about the nature of his relationship with Margarita. Aaron's family has since expressed suspicions about Margarita's role and the legitimacy of their marriage, leading to tensions and an investigation.

The details

In the 911 call, Margarita told the operator that the 6'8", 370-pound Aaron was 'laying on the floor' and 'shaking uncontrollably,' with no mobility and difficulty speaking. She said his 'body locked up' and his 'jaw and eyes rolled back.' Margarita noted Aaron had been dealing with back pain and not eating much in the days prior, and was taking an anti-inflammatory that wasn't helping. After the call, Aaron was hospitalized in Atlanta and put on life support, with his family later revealing he had suffered a 'spinal stroke.'
