**UPDATE**  Tony Dimitriades, longtime manager of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers put out the following release in the early hours of Oct. 3 confirming the rocker’s Oct. 2 death: “On behalf of the Tom Petty family, we are devastated to announce the untimely death of our father, husband, brother, leader and friend Tom Petty. He suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu in the early hours of this morning and was taken to UCLA Medical Center but could not be revived. He died peacefully at 8:40 p.m. PT surrounded by family, his bandmates and friends.”

Tom Petty, 66, is either clinging to life or has tragically passed on, depending on what reports you’ve read. But one thing is for certain — he’s not doing well. The 911 call his wife, Dana York, placed last night when she noticed the legendary singer was not breathing has been released, and listening to her panic is totally devastating. On the recording, you can hear that Dana sounds confused and upset after reaching the 911 operator around 10:45 p.m. last night, Oct. 1. Click here to see more pics of Tom.

After Dana begs for help, the dispatcher attempts to teach her how to administer CPR to Tom. However, Dana needs assistance. You can then hear someone else, presumably a man, take the phone, but Tom’s wife takes it right back. She confesses she is hearing very soft breathing from the icon, tries to give him CPR and believes he is breathing better. You can listen to the audio from the heartbreaking 911 call below.

The release of the recording comes after news broke today, Oct. 2, that Tom had gone into full cardiac arrest and was unconscious. The singer was taken to the hospital and reportedly put on life support, though there was no brain activity, according to TMZ. Though other outlets, like CBS news, claimed Tom had passed on less than 24 hours after arriving at UCLA Santa Monica Hospital, TMZ is sticking with their story that he’s still alive — but is, “not expected to survive the day.” The outlet reports that a chaplain was called to give Tom is last rites and that he was taken off life support.
