His fellow co-stars Justin Martin and Phillip McMillan discussed the accident on the latest episode of their Duck Call Room podcast. Martin explained that they had just returned to their boathouse after a “dangerous” hunting expedition in Arkansas when Robertson, 76, exited the vessel in a hurry and slipped on the muddy terrain landing on his oxygen tank.
“Typical Silas Robertson, he’s in a dang hurry to get out of the boat and up the steep hill,” Martin shared. “He fell trying to get out of the boat. He fell on his oxygen machine but he bounced right back up. He didn’t want anybody to see that he fell. But he was covered in mud.”.
Adding that Roberston tried to brush off the fall, Martin said he grew concerned when he noticed Robertson “was real quiet.” “Another red flag… no stories,” he said. McMillan chimed in to note that he received “a call from Elizabeth, Christine [Robertson’s] caretaker,” saying: “‘Si’s oxygen level’s really low. Take him now to the ER.’ My heart just dropped.”.
“I said, ‘What is going on?’ And I figured he would start laughing and talking. But no, he said, ‘Man, I’m in a lot of pain.’”. After Robertson was rushed to the hospital, doctors conducted X-rays and were able to rule out broken ribs. However, it was suspected that he suffered some bruising. While Robertson’s low oxygen levels initially caused alarm, medical staff concluded that it was likely due to a panic attack.
