“Agent 23. Rescue 23. EMS 9 on the radio. In response to the drowning,” a man says in the audio as first responders were sent to Perry’s home.
“Rescue 23” is likely a reference to the local fire station.
Tape was put up around the home, but law enforcement sources told TMZ no drugs were found at the scene and no foul play is suspected.
Pictures from the scene have since been released by various media outlets, showing a white police tent pitched next to Perry’s jacuzzi.
