Bystanders tried to revive Andy Dick during the frightening incident.
Footage obtained by the outlet showed Dick slumped over on the cement stairs of a Hollywood building, where bystanders rushed to his aid. In the alarming clip, friends gathered around him, desperately trying to revive him while one shouted for someone to fetch Narcan, a medication that counteracts opioid overdoses. Dick received the life-saving shot on the scene.
Emergency responders used Narcan to save the comedian.
Representatives from the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed their response to an overdose involving a 59-year-old male, but Dick did not require transportation to the hospital.
Dick has reportedly checked into rehab, after he got help from his friend Jennifer Gimenez. The pair appeared on Celebrity Rehab together and have been friends for 20 years, TMZ reported.
"Jenny Gimenez is my sister who saved me with Tim,” Dick told TMZ, referring to the actress and her husband.
Before revealing the news, Dick was adamant on not seeking help.
"I'm not going to be in rehab," he responded after being asked if he would be willing to seek "professional help."
