Andy Dick was found unresponsive after an alleged opioid overdose in Hollywood on December 9. The comedian was found pitched forward, with his distinctive eyeglasses on the ground.
Bystanders and friends tried to help him, and he was successfully given a shot of Narcan, a life-saving drug that almost immediately revives people experiencing a drug overdose.
The comic has been battling drug addiction for decades, with his first charge for cocaine possession dating back to 1999. In recent years, his behavior worsened, with a series of sexual offense charges and a deepening addiction to both alcohol and drugs that many rehab programs failed to adjust.
