Andy Dick Reportedly Suffers Apparent Overdose in Public After Being Found Unresponsive in Hollywood

Andy Dick reportedly suffered what appeared to be an overdose while out in public in Hollywood on Tuesday, December 9.

Photos obtained by TMZ showed the comedian, 59, slumped over and unresponsive on a set of cement steps with his black-rimmed glasses on the ground in front of him. Friends and bystanders rushed to help, some shouting “Wake up,” before someone called 911.

Per the outlet, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to the scene. Narcan — a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses — was requested and administered at the scene, according to the outlet.

Dick was not transported to the hospital.

Hours later, TMZ said they reached Dick by phone. He didn’t offer details on what happened but confirmed he was alive and doing ok.

Dick is best known for roles in Zoolander and the TV sitcom NewsRadio. He has a long history of substance abuse and has been open about being in and out of rehab.

Update:

Dick’s rep tells the National Enquirer that the comedian is “fine.”

“They were filming part of a documentary as well as a live stream. He was just drinking heavily and fell asleep,” says Dick’s rep, adding, “Be sure to watch his new movie T Bird that aired last month to catch his latest film work.”
