That's what CBS is reporting, after speculation all day about who it was exactly that was taken from his home in an ambulance:
PURCHASE, N.Y. (CBS) ― Harrison, New York, police were sent to the home of former New York Knicks president Isiah Thomas early Friday morning in response to a call that he had overdosed on sleeping pills, a source confirmed to CBS Station WCBS-TV in New York.
Thomas was rushed to White Plains Hospital for treatment, but his condition is not yet known.
Barry Watkins, vice president of communications for Madison Square Garden, told The Journal News newspaper, "Isiah is fine."
Sources tell WCBS-TV that police arrived at Thomas' home shortly after midnight in response to a 911 call from a cell phone and that Thomas' condition was being classified as an overdose.
According to the Daily News, police say the victim consumed "roughly 10 Lunesta sleeping pills."
Obviously, not a good situation. No one would ever confuse me with a sleeping pill enthusiast, but I would think that consuming ten pills of pretty much anything qualifies as a serious overdose. I don't know what Lunesta sleeping pills are, but they aren't Flintstones vitamins...
Hopefully Isiah makes a speedy recovery and gets his head together. Perhaps it was just a mistake and he really, really want to go to bed, right away... but whatever happened to a warm glass of milk and counting sheep?Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/10/isiah-thomas-overdoses-on-sleeping.html
