HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The mystery surrounding last Saturday's emergency rush to the home of actress Heather Locklear thickened Wednesday when officials released the 911 call.
In the tape made public by the Ventura County Fire Department, a man who identifies himself as a doctor tells the dispatcher, "I have a patient and I have a feeling she's suicidal, and I want someone to go there."
The call was the second made by the self-described doctor during a 15-minute time span that evening.
"I called in earlier through 911 to L.A. and was transferred to Ventura County," he said. "I'm not sure if that call went through or not."
He later asks to be called back with reassurance: "I want to know if someone has gone there and that she's OK," he said.
On Monday, the 46-year-old star's rep downplayed the incident in a statement, saying, "[Heather] is fine. She never requested medical assistance and did not place a 911 call. Nor did anyone from her house call 911 or place a call requesting medical assistance."
Locklear and her boyfriend, Jack Wagner, were at home when paramedics arrived. A spokesman for the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, Ross Bonfiglio, explained to People.com: "Once on the scene, our deputies took no further action because no one at the residence was in distress or needed medical or mental-health emergency assistance."
A source close to the actress added to People, "She was talking to a friend. She was bummed about something, and the person overreacted. Heather's doing great. [Her 10-year-old daughter] Ava's good, Jack's good, she's working — she seems really happy."
