Emergency responders took Sen. Mitch McConnell to an ambulance on a stretcher after being called to his home last month for a report of an unconscious person, according to new video of the incident and an eyewitness account.

A neighbor of McConnell told CNN that they opened their door to find commotion outside their home at around 8:30 a.m. on June 14, with two ambulances a fire truck and Capitol Police officers blocking the entire street.

Videos taken by the neighbor show emergency responders wheeling a person on a stretcher toward an ambulance. The videos are shot from some distance, and the face of the person is not visible. Once in the ambulance, the person's lower legs appear to be covered by an orange blanket, but feet are visible.

The neighbor said they asked officers what was going on, and the officers responded that there had been a "medical emergency." But when the neighbor inquired if McConnell was having a medical emergency, officers said they would block the street for anybody. The neighbor said they learned from another eyewitness who saw the individual's face that the person on the stretcher was McConnell and he was not wearing an oxygen mask.

3. I mean....duh!

Unconscious man who received CPR and has since spent a month (and counting) in the hospital didn't walk himself to the ambulance!? Quelle surprise!!!

4. Pretty much any time EMS is called to take an elderly person to hospital, they use a stretcher.

Hell, I fell and broke both my wrists a couple of years ago and I was taken to the ambulance on a stretcher.

Something may well be going on with McConnell, but this report is meaningless.

7. I was taken to the hospital in a stretcher. I was 55 at the time. My back was stuck.

I had a nasty sciatic attack.

Went home that evening.

5. I had been operating under the belief that he is alive but in a vegetive state but now it seems like he's dead.

And has been for a month. The fact they would have probably started him on oxygen after a successful CPR effort but he was not observed with an oxygen mask seems suspicious.

8. His feet are pink. That's all I can see and I don't know what it means. Except that his feet aren't blue.

If he was long dead, his feet wouldn't be pink and they probably wouldn't be exposed. I guess if CPR wasn't successful and some doc pronounced hm dead at his house, would they expose his feet? They could have carted him off in a body bag.

Someone saw his face. Was he dead?

How long were they there? But who knows? Is this story even accurate?

6. "Shocking" video?

There's nothing shocking about a video of an 84 year old being loaded in to an ambulance.

9. I thought he was rushed to hospital in an advanced care ambulance?
