Donte' Stallworth 911 Call Released

Donte' Stallworth has his life -- something that can't be said about Mario Reyes, the man he accidentally hit and killed with his car in March -- but it barely resembles the one he once knew just a few months ago.

Even though Stallworth only received 30 days in jail (followed by a year of house arrest and eight years probation, not to mention a financial settlement with Reyes' family), he was suspended indefinitely by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Worse: ha has to live with the burden of killing a man with a family as he came home from work.

The case is closed and Stallworth's fate has been determined, but yesterday the 911 call was released to the public, shedding light on how events unfolded as they happened. Via NBC Miami:

"Ok, listen, listen...This guy just ran in front of my car and he's (expletive) laying in the street dude...I, I...," Stallworth says in the call, released yesterday for the first time.

"So you hit somebody in the street?" the dispatcher asks.

"Yeah, you gotta send an ambulance right now man," Stallworth responds. ...

"He ran in front of the car sir, he like jumped in front of the car," Stallworth tells the dispatcher. He then expresses the grim situation, saying "Oh no. (Expletive). Oh my God, this guy is...oh..."

Without hearing the audio, Stallworth sounds genuinely distraught. That doesn't change anything, of course, but maybe Reyes' family can take solace in knowing that Stallworth wasn't acting maliciously. Easy for me to say, I know. It's not much, but it's something.

Update: audio below, and, well, it's pretty tough to listen to.
