Andy Dick was reportedly found unresponsive on the streets of Los Angeles on Tuesday, December 9, following an alleged overdose. Emergency services, including the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Los Angeles Police Department, responded to the scene at approximately 3:14 p.m. at the intersection of Highland and Yucca. While the fire department responded to a call regarding an overdose of a 59-year-old male, they did not transport the individual to the hospital. The LAPD confirmed their response to an ambulance overdose, describing it as a medical emergency, but also declined to confirm the subject's name.
Photos obtained by TMZ appear to show Dick slumped over stairs outside a Hollywood building, with individuals attempting to assist him. Dick reportedly told TMZ that he was alive and well, though he did not offer further details about the incident. Representatives for the actor did not immediately respond to requests for comment. This incident adds to a history of struggles with alcohol and drug addiction for Dick, as well as previous arrests, including one in June 2021 for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. His former fiancée, Elisa Jordana, expressed concern about his well-being and the people surrounding him in a YouTube broadcast, recalling a prior incident where Dick allegedly got into a fight that resulted in another person being hospitalized. In 2017, Dick was fired from a movie due to sexual harassment claims, which he addressed by denying intent to harass but admitting to kissing and licking someone's cheek as a form of goodbye.
