She told the dispatcher that the door was “wide open” and that he was on the floor.
“He’s gone. I’m pretty sure he’s gone,” she told the dispatcher after they asked her if she would try CPR on him.
The caller added that he had scratches all over him.
News Center 7 was on the scene on Friday evening and saw multiple police cruisers and an investigator taking photos outside of the house before making their way inside.
