How did you know the sheriff's phone number? In our location, it is practically impossible to reach law enforcement without dialing 911. Their number is not in the phone book nor painted on their vehicles.I called the sheriff.
As to your second question, no, if someone passes away unexpectedly in their sleep I don't believe they would be able to dial 911.

@H20Dude, I only had to call 911 one time for my MIL.
I googled the county sheriff and got the phone no from his website. Then I called the office and talked to the dispatcher.
Wow - I didn't know that some law enforcement agencies didn't publish their phone numbers.
Thanks! I found some phone numbers for my law enforcement folks that I could not find before. Although I vaguely remember calling the same number years ago and got no answer. I think I did call after 5 pm though.Perhaps google something like "houston police dispatch"
DW accidentally called 911 once back in the pre-cell phone days when your fingers were used to dialing 9 to get an outside line at work. She realized her mistake and tried to hang up before the call was placed. A few seconds later, the phone rings - checking to see if someone called 911. DW is mortified, explains it was a mistake, apologies profusely.
About 10 minutes later two officers show up at the front door. Just checking to make sure things were OK. Was DW being forced to claim everything was OK by me? Am I being difficult? Have I been drinking? So the officer decides he wants to interview DW alone, so I got to go outside with the other officer and sit in the back of his squad car.
Of course all was OK, and it was all cleared up in 5 minutes or less. But that was the day the new neighbors got to see me in a police car. Good times.
