According to a police report obtained by The ENQUIRER, the owner of the home called 911 after receiving a “phone message from [Daryl] … that he believed his caregiver was trying to kill him.” When police arrived at the house, they found Daryl — who is looked after by two live-in caregivers — to be “sleeping” and “secure,” the report said. It also revealed that one of the two caregivers told police that Daryl was in his sad final days, as "his condition was worsening."

A caretaker also told cops she knew Daryl “had made numerous phone calls earlier in the day.” Despite Daryl’s hysterical calls for help, the official report noted the home was “clean, and there was no indication that criminal activity was taking place.” The talented keyboardist, however, has deteriorated dramatically since his partner and wife of 39 years divorced him in 2014.

With their hit songs “Love Will Keep Us Together” and “Do That to Me One More Time,” the ’70s icons were painted as soft rock’s giddily happy power couple. But in her 2016 memoir, Toni trashed that image as a lie and described Daryl as a severe hypochondriac.

She also coldly criticized his failed hair transplant and a medical condition that gave him unusually large eyeballs. Their divorce sent Daryl into a health tailspin — and he told The ENQUIRER at the time, “I still love Toni. The divorce was her idea. I was never unfaithful to her. I can’t figure it out.”
