Lindsey Graham Shrugged Off Calls to See Doctor Before Death [View all]

Lindsey Graham was urged to seek immediate medical attention but brushed off the advice with a chilling joke in the moments before his death, according to a report.

The South Carolina senator died Saturday night after what his office called a "brief and sudden illness," two days after his 71st birthday and just hours after returning from a visit to Ukraine.

Emergency personnel responded to a report of cardiac arrest at Graham's Capitol Hill home at around 8:30 p.m. Saturday evening, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.

President Donald Trump revealed on Sunday that he had spoken with Graham at around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and that the senator had said that he was "tired" from his trip. The two discussed Graham's Russia sanctions bill and Trump's plans for fresh strikes against Iran, according to Axios.
