«The flight crew was concerned that a passenger (Mr. Odell Beckham Jr.) as they tried to wake him to fasten his seat belt, he appeared to be coming in and out of consciousness, prior to their departure,» the department said in a statement, via NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. «Fearing that Mr. Beckham was seriously ill, and that his condition would worsen through the expected five hour flight, the crew called for police and fire rescue.»
