Chaos in Hollywood as Andy Dick Collapses in Apparent Drug Overdose
Comedian Andy Dick is facing another serious health scare after suffering an apparent drug overdose on a Hollywood street, prompting bystanders and friends to rush in and save him.
TMZ obtained exclusive photos showing Andy collapsed on a set of cement steps outside a building in Hollywood on Tuesday afternoon. He appeared completely unresponsive, with his signature glasses lying on the ground in front of him.
According to eyewitnesses, several of Andy’s friends ran over and tried desperately to revive him, with one yelling at him to “wake up.” Others immediately contacted emergency services.
We’re told someone on the scene called out for Narcan — the medication used to reverse opioid overdoses — and Andy was given a dose.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed they responded to an overdose call involving a 59-year-old man. They added that the man was not transported to the hospital. In many overdose cases, individuals regain consciousness after receiving Narcan and decline further medical treatment.
Andy has long battled substance abuse issues and has faced multiple run-ins with the law over the years. The Los Angeles Police Department also responded to the incident after receiving an overdose report.
Speaking briefly with TMZ on Tuesday night, Andy confirmed he is alive and grateful to be okay, but declined to share further details about what happened.
