UPDATE: Comedian Andy Dick, 59, was rescued following an apparent drug overdose on the streets of Hollywood on Tuesday. Bystanders quickly intervened, administering Narcan to the incapacitated funnyman, who was found slumped over on a concrete staircase.
Shocking images obtained by TMZ show Dick unconscious and unresponsive, dressed in a brown jacket, pajama pants, and Crocs. Eyewitnesses reported frantic scenes as friends rushed to his aid, with one shouting for him to “wake up” while others called for emergency services.
Just moments after the Narcan was administered, Dick responded positively, regaining consciousness as first responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department and Police Department arrived on the scene. Despite the urgency, Dick declined further medical treatment or transportation to a hospital, asserting to TMZ, “I’m alive and OK,” but offered no further details.
This incident marks another troubling chapter for the comedian, known for his roles on shows like “Ben Stiller Show” and “NewsRadio.” In November 2022, Dick was convicted of sexual battery after an incident involving an Uber driver in April 2018, resulting in a sentence of 90 days in prison and mandatory registration as a sex offender.
Just months later, he faced additional legal issues when he was arrested for public intoxication and failing to register as a sex offender. In May 2022, he was charged with felony sexual battery after allegations from a man named “JJ” surfaced, claiming Dick molested him in his sleep. Those charges were dropped when the alleged victim ceased cooperation.
The shocking overdose incident underscores the ongoing struggles faced by Dick, who has often been in and out of the spotlight due to personal troubles. As authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, fans and the public await further developments.
Stay tuned for updates on this breaking story as it unfolds.
