Rescuer who found Diane Keaton on the floor shared four words — and it’s chilling
Hollywood is in shock after the sudden passing of Oscar-winning actress Diane Keaton. The legendary star was rushed from her Los Angeles home early Saturday morning and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Emergency Response
At 8:08 a.m., emergency responders arrived at Keaton’s California residence following a 911 call. Audio from the dispatch, obtained by TMZ, captured the tense moment: “Rescue 19, person down,” followed by Keaton’s address. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed they transported one individual to a hospital — Diane Keaton — where she was pronounced dead.
Final Days and Friends’ Reflections
Longtime friend and collaborator Carol Bayer Sager recalled her last visit with the actress just weeks ago. “She was very thin,” Sager told People, noting how much weight Keaton had lost. Another friend revealed that her health declined rapidly in recent months, leaving even close friends unaware of the severity of her condition.
“In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things private,” the friend said.
Health Struggles and Legacy
Keaton had faced ongoing health challenges, including battles with bulimia and skin cancer. In a 2014 interview with Dr. Oz, she opened up about her eating disorder, describing herself as “an addict in recovery” and sharing the extreme struggles she endured. She also faced skin cancer multiple times, including basal and squamous cell carcinoma, and underwent surgeries to overcome the disease.
Despite these challenges, Keaton remained a trailblazer in Hollywood. From her early Broadway days to iconic films like Annie Hall and beyond, she was a storyteller, a risk-taker, and a woman who inspired millions by embracing authenticity in every role.

Diane Keaton’s passing leaves a void in the entertainment world, but her influence will endure. Her signature voice, style, and unforgettable performances will continue to resonate in every scene she touched. She leaves behind her two children, Dexter, 29, and Duke, 25, whom she adopted in her 50s.
