Bills co-owner Kim Pegula went into cardiac arrest last year, her daughter and U.S. tennis player Jessica wrote in The Players’ Tribune on Tuesday.
In June, the Bills announced that Kim, 53, was receiving treatment for “unexpected health issues,” but did not expand upon the specifics of her condition. The latest public update on her status came June 28, when the family said in a statement that she was “rehabilitating” and “progressing well.”
However, Jessica provided further insight into the situation in her Players’ Tribune article, revealing that her mother went into cardiac arrest at the family home last June. Jessica said that her sister performed CPR on her mother until paramedics arrived and that while Kim has made progress in her recovery, she is still dealing with significant health concerns almost eight months later.
