Sen. Lindsey Graham told one of of his staffers that he was experiencing chest pains and to call 911 shortly before his sudden death Saturday night, one of Graham’s Republican colleagues told reporters Monday.

The comments by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) shed new light on Graham’s final hours after he returned from a trip to Ukraine and prepared to get back to work following Congress’ post-4th of July recess, despite feeling under the weather.

“My former scheduler was Lindsey’s scheduler, and one of my staff members was with that scheduler the night Lindsey called,” said Tuberville, adding that the two aides were watching a World Cup soccer match at a Washington, DC-area restaurant when Graham called.

“Lindsey called [and] basically said, ‘Listen, I’m having chest pains. You know, I need to do something,'” the former college football coach recounted. “[She said,] ‘Did you call 911?’ And he goes, ‘No, that’s the reason I called you.’ And so she called 911 … By the time she got there, 911 had knocked the door down, and they were working on him.”
