BREAKING: Comedian Andy Dick was rescued from an apparent drug overdose on a Hollywood street on Tuesday, as quick-thinking bystanders administered Narcan to the unconscious funnyman. Shocking images circulated online show the 59-year-old slumped over on a concrete staircase, unresponsive and wearing pajama pants and Crocs, outside a building in the bustling Los Angeles neighborhood.
Witnesses reported seeing Dick, born Andrew Thomlinson, in a dire state around midday. Passers-by rushed to his aid, with one individual desperately calling for him to “wake up” while others dialed for emergency assistance. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) confirmed that first responders arrived shortly after Narcan was administered, enabling Dick to regain consciousness.
Despite the lifesaving treatment, Dick refused further medical attention or transportation to a hospital, according to an LAFD spokesperson. He told TMZ he was “alive and OK” but did not provide additional details about the incident.
This incident marks yet another troubling chapter in Dick’s recent history, which has been marred by legal issues. In November 2022, he was convicted of sexual battery after a disturbing encounter with an Uber driver in April 2018. He served a 90-day prison sentence and was mandated to register as a sex offender.
Just two months later, he faced further legal troubles when he was arrested for public intoxication and failing to register as a sex offender. His most recent brush with the law occurred in May 2022, when he was arrested for felony sexual battery after an alleged incident involving a man named “JJ.” Those charges were ultimately dropped when the victim ceased cooperating with authorities.
The urgency surrounding this latest incident highlights the precarious situation Dick finds himself in, raising questions about his health and wellbeing. As details continue to unfold, authorities and fans alike are left concerned for the comedian’s future.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as we monitor the situation closely.
