URGENT UPDATE: Comedian Andy Dick was reportedly revived after suffering an apparent drug overdose on the streets of Hollywood on Tuesday. Shocking images show the 59-year-old unconscious and slumped over on a concrete staircase, as quick-thinking bystanders rushed to his aid.
Witnesses described chaotic scenes as friends of the disgraced comedian desperately called for help. Bystanders administered Narcan, a life-saving treatment for opioid overdoses, successfully reviving Dick before emergency responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department arrived on the scene.
Photos obtained by TMZ depict Dick, clad in a brown jacket, pajama pants, and Crocs, unresponsive with his glasses lying on the ground. As friends shouted for him to “wake up,” the urgency of the situation escalated. After regaining consciousness, Dick reportedly declined further medical assistance and refused transportation to a hospital.
Just hours after the incident, Dick reassured TMZ that he was alive and “OK,” although he did not provide additional details about his condition.
The comedian, born Andrew Thomlinson, has faced significant legal troubles in recent years. In November 2022, he was convicted of sexual battery after an incident involving an Uber driver, resulting in a 90-day prison sentence and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Following that, he was arrested for public intoxication in January 2023 for failing to register as a sex offender.
Dick’s most recent legal issues included a separate felony sexual battery charge in May 2022, which was later dropped when the alleged victim ceased cooperation. This latest incident raises serious concerns about the comedian’s well-being and ongoing struggles.
As the situation unfolds, fans and friends of Dick are left to ponder the implications of this latest health scare. With a history of substance abuse and legal issues, many are calling for urgent intervention and support for the troubled star.
