Quinton Aaron couldn’t move and was “shaking uncontrollably” when his “spiritual wife” called 911 for help ahead of his hospitalization last month.
In the 911 call obtained exclusively by Us Weekly, Margarita — who is not identified in the audio but confirms with Us she made the emergency call for firefighters and paramedics — detailed the frightening moments that led to The Blind Side actor being rushed to the hospital where he was put on life support.
“My husband is six-foot-eight, 370 pounds. He’s laying on the floor, and he’s shaking,” Margarita, who is not legally married to the star, told the 911 operator. “His upper body is shaking uncontrollably, and he can’t feel his legs.”
Margarita held her composure, calmly telling the operator, “He has no mobility. He’s telling me he can’t move. And he’s literally laying on the floor, like he’s dead weight. I’m gonna need some help.”
She then informed the 911 operator that Quinton’s “body locked up on him and his jaw and his eyes rolled back just a little bit.” She said he told her, “’I can’t move, can’t move,’” as she shared, “He could barely talk.”
“He said it feels like his throat is closing up on him,” she told the operator.
When asked whether he might be having an allergic reaction, Margarita informed the 911 operator that Quinton, 41, hadn’t been drinking or eating much and noted, “He’s missed dinner all this week” due to his back pain.
According to her, Quinton had been taking an anti-inflammatory for the pain, but it wasn’t helping.
“I haven’t been asleep for like three days because we’ve been dealing with his back pain for a few days, and today, it just took a toll for the worse,” she said on the call.
While waiting for help to arrive, Margarita addressed Quinton directly.
“I’m gonna put socks on you, but I don’t know if I can because you keep jerking. I’m trying to get all this done, Quinton,” she told him.
Quinton Aaron’s family is sharing an update on The Blind Side actor’s health days after he was hospitalized and put on life support. In a statement obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, January 29, the family said Aaron, 41, suffered a “spinal stroke.” “We acknowledge that you’ve heard about Quinton Aaron’s condition. We appreciate the […]
After the call was made, the actor was put on life support at an Atlanta hospital. His family later shared he had suffered a “spinal stroke.”
Sources close to Quinton’s loved ones exclusively told Us last week that Margarita had been “banned” from his hospital room while they investigate their suspicions of her further. (On February 3, his relatives publicly questioned the legitimacy of the pair’s marriage and accused Margarita of not being a registered nurse, as well as being married to someone other than Quinton.)
“We are spiritually married. We are tied as one,” she confirmed to Us following their allegations.
When asked about her hospital ban, Margarita responded, “I’m OK with it, I’m at peace with this. Quinton and I pray a lot and believe in God and believe in a higher power. I can feel his presence telling me this will work itself out.”
Days later, Quinton’s family gave a positive health update ahead of the Super Bowl.
“Quinton is in a jovial mood, now laughing and smiling and is communicating to the best of his ability while he continues to recover,” his loved ones said in a statement on February 6. “He’s watching TV and getting ready to root for his favorite team this weekend.”
Quinton is best known for his portrayal of former NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher in The Blind Side. Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Sandra Bullock also starred in the 2009 film.
