According to The Sun, he’s later heard saying: “It’s George Michael. I think he’s dead. He’s dead.”
Currently, the police are investigating the Faith star’s death, his last few hours and the moments after his death at home on Christmas Day.
Fadi has been questioned constantly over his death in Goring, Oxfordshire.
The four-and-a-half minute 999 conversation reveals the details of Fadi finding the singer dead in bed.
First, Fadi asks for an ambulance and is put through to a female handler.
She then asked him if the patient is breathing and Fadi tells her he isn’t.
Fadi says he is “shaking” when asked what George’s postcode was.
The lady then asks where George’s body is to which Fadi replies: “He’s in bed. Dead.
“He’s cold and he’s blue… yes, he’s very stiff.
“He’s dead… he’s dead”
Then the lady asks if the singer is “beyond help”, and Fadi says he has spent the last hour trying to wake him up.
The operator then asks if George’s death was “expected”.
Fadi replies: “No, no, no, no, no, no, I’ve been waiting for him to wake up for like, you know, for hours and he wouldn’t wake up, I went to wake him up and he was gone, you know, he’s not there.”
He then added: “It’s George Michael, you know, the singer?”
