(Rock News Desk) Hotel staff who found Jani Lane's body refused to check to see if he was still alive, a recording of an emergency call has revealed. And when the 911 operator passed on a dead body report to another department, the second operator wasn't interested unless Lane was definitely dead.
The ex-Warrant singer was discovered in a California hotel room on August 11 with a bottle of vodka and prescription pills. He'd split from his wife a few weeks previously, and a note saying "I am Jani Lane" with a friend's phone number was in his pocket.
Now TMZ has released a recording of the call placed by the hotel receptionist to emergency services. Read the transcript here
