CHAPEL HILL - The emergency medical team that responded to Atlas Fraley's home Tuesday afternoon spent 22 minutes there.

Orange County Emergency Services administrators have not said how or whether the first responders treated Fraley. He died later that day.

Fraley called 911 about 1:45 p.m., after a football scrimmage, complaining of dehydration and full-body cramps. Fraley had gone in and out of the game complaining of cramps, and teammates have said Fraley had to stand for much of the bus ride home from Apex because his legs were cramping.

The emergency responders arrived at 1:54 p.m. and left at 2:16 p.m., according to a recording of emergency radio traffic released Friday.
