US EditionComedian Andy Dick suffers apparent overdose on LA street, report says
- On Tuesday, comedian Andy Dick suffered an apparent drug overdose on a Hollywood street, with photos and video showing the 59-year-old slumped on concrete stairs outside a building.
- Dick told TMZ Wednesday he met a random man on the sidewalk who offered crack, and he smoked it before collapsing, admitting he 'doesn't mind doing a little crack.'
- Witnesses said bystanders and friends administered Narcan and tried to revive Andy Dick on the street, and the Los Angeles Fire Department and Police Department responded as he regained consciousness but was not hospitalized.
- When reached by reporters, Dick said he was alive and OK but refused to elaborate, later telling the cameraman `Doesn’t it look like I’m 100 percent fine?` and `a hundred and 10 percent`.
- The incident adds to Dick’s long history of substance abuse and legal troubles, including a 2022 conviction requiring sex-offender registration, amid a national overdose surge of more than 73,000 deaths and Narcan's life-saving role.
