Williams said she “left him on the couch” as she took her son to school that morning, making sure to “put a blanket over” the “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)” artist before she left.
Williams said she returned to find that he “never got up.”
“I don’t feel a heartbeat. I don’t see him breathing,” she explained, adding that when she “turned him over,” she noticed he “foamed at the mouth.”
When Williams was instructed to “lay him flat on his back on the floor” with nothing “under his head,” she exclaimed, “He is not waking up.”
Two days later, she took to her Instagram Story to describe the “unbearable” pain of losing her “other half.”
“Our house is no longer a home. I’m completely heartbroken,” she wrote in part. “15 years gone. I’ll never be the same. This is a complete nightmare.”
Quan — a father of five — shared two children with Williams.
Just two days before his death, he posted a pensive photo of himself on Instagram with the caption, “Vision clear even through the BS 🤫.”
