Paramedics responded to a ‘cardiac arrest’ at Mitch McConnell’s home on day of hospitalization

EMS dispatch audio says a medic reported CPR in progress after McConnell was found unconscious, while his office has not confirmed the details.

  • Former Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell was found unconscious at his Washington home on June 14, prompting an Advanced Life Support ambulance dispatch according to emergency audio posted by journalist Desiree Townsend.
  • McConnell, the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican retiring at year's end, has faced repeated health scares including multiple falls and flu-like symptoms requiring prior hospitalizations in recent years.
  • McConnell's office has released no details on his condition or prognosis, though a June 22 statement claimed he was 'working closely with staff' on Senate business and Kentucky matters.
  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he spoke with his predecessor recently, describing McConnell as still 'dialed in' on Senate business despite ongoing health concerns.
  • The Senate reconvenes July 13, nearly a month after the incident, as McConnell prepares to conclude his tenure by year's end 2026 amid questions about his availability.
