He was hospitalized on June 14 and has been in the hospital since; they're just now releasing the circumstances of the 911 call, which was the bit about finding him unconscious.
Until now his staff have been acting like he's just working from home, which is now revealed to be -- I know it's difficult to believe but hold on -- complete and total bullshit. This People article contains the reference to the press release issued by his staff on June 22:
“Senator McConnell is still working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery," McConnell’s spokesperson, Stephanie Penn, said in a statement on Monday, June 22. "However, he will not be voting this week."

He got rushed to the hospital today after being found unconscious. Seems like his time has come.

He's been unconscious for 40 years in the Senate. I am not holding my breath.
May the bot run soon!
