Speaking to the dispatcher, Bach says in the call that she did not want to go outside where her husband was in fear that someone might shoot her ("No, I can't. I'm afraid that the person might shoot me and I have two little girls," Bach responded when asked if she was physically with the victim). She also references a robbery in the neighborhood a couple of days before.
Bach then says a housekeeper went out into the backyard to try and figure out what happened, reporting back that no weapons were laying around Lopez.
Due to the graphic nature of the call, RadarOnline.com decided not to publish the audio.

Later, a woman named Nancy who identifies herself as Catherine's assistant, gets on the phone: "We don't have any idea [if Lopez shot himself]. We just heard a thud and I think it could've even just been maybe he had a heart attack. He could've fallen and a branch broke, know what I mean? I just don't know. It's very possible that he just... That it was a branch breaking. It sounded like that to me. Somebody else said it sounded like a gunshot, but sounded more like a branch breaking, but I don't know."

why did he kill himself, a beautiful wife and two kids, everything going for him? plus, it was mighty selfish of him to do it so all could see how he died at home and while the family was there.

While I appreciate Radar not publishing the call, it's still an invasion of privacy.
