Engemann, remained calm throughout the call, following instructions until an ambulance arrived. He revealed that his daughter was taking medication for depression. “She"s unconscious. I slap her and ... she opens her eyes half way and puts them back down again," he said. “I left my daughter here last night and she was fine. I come this morning she"s supposed to have a meeting in a while and she just seems to be out of it," he added.
