The frantic 911 call between a woman and an emergency dispatcher was released Tuesday as the woman and others desperately tried to save the life of Olympic skier Bode Miller’s daughter Emeline after the toddler fell into a California swimming pool.
The woman tells the male dispatcher that a 19-month-old girl fell into a backyard pool, isn’t breathing and has no pulse.
The woman can be heard shouting, “HURRY!”

“Are you doing CPR or do you need me to coach you through it?” the dispatcher asks.
The woman replies, “Coach me through it, please.”

The dispatcher tries to calm the callers down, saying “They’re coming as fast as they can,” referring to paramedics.
“Come on, Emmy. Come on, baby girl!” the woman says.

Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Tony Bommarito said paramedics continued to try and revive the girl as she was being rushed to a hospital.
But sadly, their efforts failed and Emeline died.

The couple, who announced they were expecting their third child together in April, are also parents to 3-year-old son Nash, and two other children, daughter Neesyn and son Samuel, from Miller's previous relationships.
