911 Caller Described AEW Star Pac as 'Not Responsive at All' Before Death

A 911 caller told a dispatcher that AEW star Benjamin Satterley, known as Pac, was "not responsive at all" inside his vehicle in a CAVA parking lot shortly before his death. The call, placed on September 27 at approximately 3:53 p.m., came just 15 minutes before Satterley was pronounced deceased by officials in Des Plaines, Illinois.

The caller reported finding Satterley unresponsive in a running vehicle. "I don’t know. She doesn’t look too well and her car is running," the woman stated, initially mistaking Satterley for a female due to his long hair before correcting herself. The caller and others had reportedly been attempting to rouse Satterley for about five minutes.

"We’ve been banging on the window for I want to say, like, five minutes now," the caller said, adding that Satterley's "face is, like, straight down. Apparently their eyes are open, too." She later confirmed to the dispatcher that Satterley did not appear to be breathing, stating, "I don’t see his chest moving at all."

First responders arrived at the scene and initiated life-saving measures, but Satterley was pronounced dead at 4:08 p.m., according to a Des Plaines Police Department incident report. The report noted that Satterley had no apparent injuries or suspicious markings, other than what appeared to be saliva on the front of his shirt.
