Mary Tyler Moore‘s tragic descent toward her final curtain sadly rages on. Emergency medical techs and local cops both rushed to the sitcom queen's side in back-to-back calls, according to two recent police reports.

#2 Emergency Crews Called To Her Estate Twice Already This Year

Mary Tyler Moore suddenly vanished from public view five years ago and 911 was called over 3 dozen times to her Greenwich, Conn., estate between 2012 and 2105. So far in 2017 at least two 911 calls were made from her home, shared with husband Robert Levine. The October incident was "medical in nature" and involved a "diabetic," according to the official report.

#3 She Has Several Deadly Illnesses

Emergency responders were repeatedly called to Mary's estate during 2016, where the 80-year-old legend (seen here in 2003) has been battling a host of deadly conditions, including a brain tumor, type 1 diabetes, blindness, pneumonia and bone-busting falls. But some say her issues with her husband are making her even worse because of the stress.

#4 911 Is Dispatched To Her Estate Regularly As She Refuses Assisted Care

In addition to suffering from those illnesses, Moore has been plagued by kidney and heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Despite her ills, Moore has "vehemently resisted" being placed in a nursing home, relying instead on home aides, a source said. On January 11, the actress' estranged husband, Dr. Robert Levine, called paramedics when the star was having "abdominal pain." The 911 dispatch came in as a "casualty medical," with an ambulance arriving at her estate 18 minutes later.

#5 Her Marriage Is As Rocky As Her Health

Nine days earlier, Levine sent medics rushing to his wife's side when she experienced difficulty breathing, a report states. In December of 2016, ambulances showed up at her home two days in a row! Mary was "conscious" and "breathing," but requested an evaluation by medics. But despite the presence of her husband at the mansion during the emergencies, Mary's marriage has become increasingly rocky as her medical conditions worsened.

#6 Husband Is Not Welcomed In The Home But Still Comes To Check On Mary

The couple is now so estranged that Levine doesn't usually reside at the stately $12 million home. He's also been involved in two troublesome "domestic incident" calls, one when he refused to leave the house, and another when he made a "vailed threat as he left the house" following a "verbal dispute." According to caretakers at the estate and police records. He is not allowed in the estate according to a report filed by Mary in 2015, but he arrives daily despite the legalities to check on Mary and her health.

In May 2011, doctors cut out a benign brain tumor that had wrapped around her optic nerve. She had emergency surgery two days later to stop bleeding in her brain. On a Jan. 19, 2014, call, she was described in the report as an "elderly female confused due to old age."

Mary had been "under continuous care of an aide throughout this evening," according to the report. "Due to lack of medication, Moore was confused and disoriented. Medication was given by the aide and Moore was calmed and put in to bed for the evening." However, the caretakers and aides say she is becoming mean and belligerent, often refusing to do everyday things or take her medications.
