Andy Dick reportedly suffered an apparent overdose on the streets of Los Angeles.
The 59-year-old comedian was seen slumped over a set of stairs outside a building in Hollywood as friends attempted to help him, according to photos obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
“I can confirm that we did respond to the intersection of Highland and Yucca at the 7-Eleven at 3:14 p.m. for a 59-year-old male,” a Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) spokesperson tells PEOPLE, though they declined to confirm the patient’s name, citing HIPAA laws. “But we did respond to that location for an overdose. He was not transported to the hospital.”
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) adds, “The LAPD did respond for an ambulance overdose,” while also declining to confirm the subject’s name. They added, “This was a medical emergency issue.”
Dick reportedly spoke to TMZ, telling the outlet he was alive and okay, though he did not elaborate on the incident.
