“HELP ME, I’M DYING!” Bent over in agony, JOHN EDWARDS cried out for assistance during a terrifying heart attack drama – only days after the one-year anniversary of his wife ELIZABETH’s death.
That’s the shocking untold story behind the disgraced politician’s sudden request to postpone his upcoming criminal trial, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.
“John fell apart in front of a pal after returning from a jog and was afraid he’d die,” revealed a close source.
“His heart began pounding and he was having labored breathing. He had many symptoms of a major heart attack, so he asked his friend to rush him to his doctor.”
In documents filed Dec. 22 in a North Carolina federal court and obtained by The ENQUIRER, lawyers claimed the former presidential candidate had “unexpectedly encountered a medical issue” that will make it “extraordinarily difficult” for him to appear in court for his trial, slated to begin Jan. 30.
While the details of his medical situation were filed under seal and cannot be reported to the public, a close friend revealed that Edwards was telling pals he was suffering from “sleep apnea” and “migraine headaches.”
BUT while sources confirm he does have the potentially deadly sleeping disorder, the sudden chest pains and shortness of breath are what spurred a frightened Edwards – who claims a family history of heart disease – to request the delay, say sources.
“John has been very depressed with theupcoming trial and particularly down in the dumps with the holiday season and his young children having to deal with the first anniversary of his wife’s death on Dec. 7,” said the close source.
Under tremendous stress from the impending trial on charges he misused campaign funds to cover up an illicit affair and love child, Edwards had “also been drinking too much,” said the close source.
It all came to a head when he recently went for a short jog near his palatial North Carolina estate and collapsed with chest pains, divulged the insider.
I think thats called an anxiety attack. He probably started thinking about who his cellmate in the pen was going to be and his heart couldn’t take it.
Three years old, and he’s already a comedian!
LOL!
You win!
Oops, missed your post.
Classic!
I saw him at California Pizza Kitchen last weekend and he looked fine.
I sure all of the physicians he looted over the years are just waiting to get him into a hospital bed. “Put these bedpans into the freezer for a few hours!”
I'd be clutching at my chest too if I were about to be subjected to some extra curricular ass-banging in prison....."Hep me, Elizabeth! I'm comin to you join ya, Honey!"
Bwaaaaaaahaaahhaahhaaaahhaaa! Couldn't happen to a nicer Breck Girl....
Details???
His heart isn't the body part he needs to worry about.
.....and The Breck Girl has a lot to panic about.
I know I am a sucker, but I always feel sorrow for people who wreck love and honor so terribly and totally in their lives.
No matter what excuses John Edwards gives to himself for what he has done, the bottom line is that he broke all the hearts tied to him and his own. He did all this for a fleeting sexual thrill; proving once again that liberalism’s claims of free sex come with a heavy price.
Cor. 13: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ...”
He paid the highest price and man can pay.
I smell a rat. Its a fake - a stalling tactic - or a phony drama ginned up to contaminate the jury pool with sympathy towards himself.
Ha! But, regardless of the Enquirer's grammer, John Edwards has earned the shame of everything the Enquirer can dig up, uncover, or dangle on this poor excuse for a human being.
I appreciate the N/E being John Edwards' shadow.
He needs such a long delay of trial because he can’t find a doctor willing to care for him.
Maybe the “other America” cares, John. I don’t.
This pretty boy is so in love with himself that he probably masturbates to himself in the mirror. I bet this skidmark commits suicide before he can be sentenced.
Ain’t no participles there.
I think he is trying to get put in a min security hospital prison where the is less chance of him becoming someones beeootch
