URGENT UPDATE: Comedian Andy Dick is recovering after suffering an apparent drug overdose on the streets of Hollywood on Tuesday. Eyewitnesses quickly sprang into action, administering Narcan to the 59-year-old, who was found unresponsive on a concrete staircase outside a building.
Shocking images captured the moment as passers-by attempted to revive Dick, who was wearing a brown jacket, pajama pants, and Crocs. One man was seen trying to prop him up while his distinctive rectangular glasses lay on the ground. Friends of the troubled funnyman called out for him to “wake up” as they dialed for emergency assistance, according to reports from TMZ.
Emergency responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department arrived shortly after Narcan was administered, which prompted a positive reaction from Dick. He regained consciousness before refusing further treatment or transportation to a hospital, an LAFD spokesperson confirmed to TMZ.
In a brief statement, Dick claimed he was “alive and OK,” but provided no further details about his condition. This incident marks the latest in a series of troubling events for the comedian, who has been embroiled in legal issues over the past few years.
In November 2022, Dick was convicted of sexual battery after an incident involving an Uber driver in April 2018. He was sentenced to 90 days in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender. Less than two months following his release, he faced arrest for public intoxication and failure to register as a sex offender.
Additionally, Dick was arrested in May 2022 on charges of felony sexual battery after a man named “JJ” accused him of molestation while he was asleep. Those charges were later dropped when the alleged victim ceased cooperation with authorities.
As news of this incident spreads, many are left wondering about Dick’s future and whether this latest scare will serve as a wake-up call. Stay tuned for updates on the situation as it develops.
