Did Isiah Thomas OD on Sleeping Pills?


On Friday, The New York Post and WCBS-TV in New York reported that Isiah Thomas was hospitalized for a drug overdose. Thomas and his family have denied the reports. But Fox Sports reports:

"Harrison (NY) police said Thomas was taken to White Plains Hospital Center after police and an ambulance were summoned to his Purchase, N.Y., home after midnight following a 911 call.

Thomas denied being taken to the hospital when reached on his cell phone by The (New York) Post."


More (via Fox Sports):

"Police said a 47-year-old man was taken to the hospital and treated for an accidental overdose of sleeping pills at Thomas' home.Harrison Police Chief David Hall told the New York Daily News that the victim had consumed about 10 Lunesta sleeping pills.

'He was unconscious, but breathing on his own,' Hall said.

The Associated Press quoted Hall as saying it was not a suicide attempt: 'We're classifying it as an accidental overdose of prescription sleeping pills.'"
