Jallah doesn't identify herself, but tells a dispatcher that "my daddy is throwing up" and "he's got a fever."
Jallah told The Associated Press that she made the call and referred to Duncan as "daddy" because he was in a relationship with her mother. Jallah is not related to Duncan, who died last Wednesday at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Dallas Fire-Rescue Lt. Joel Lavender said Tuesday that the caller had a thick accent and the dispatcher, who's heard asking her to repeat details, did a good job.
