After details of the 911 call were released by TMZ on April 2nd by Broward County Police –revealing the caller found him unresponsive in his home gym area – many, including Vontae’s brother Vernon Davis, suspected that this was a sauna-related incident.

In the audio, the 911 caller was instructed to find and use a defibrillator on Davis, however, it’s unclear whether or not they did so.
