Isiah Thomas Overdoses on Sleeping Pills?

Dumpy · Oct 24, 2008

Apparently someone at Isiah Thomas' house was rushed to the hospital after overdosing on sleeping pills. There is speculation that the person was Thomas.

Former New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas was taken to White Plains Hospital Center today after overdosing on sleeping pills, WABC-TV reported, citing police and unidentified people.

Police were called to Thomas's house in Harrison, New York, just after midnight for a report of a possible overdose of a 46-year-old male, WABC-TV reported, citing police sources. The former NBA basketball player and coach is 47, the network said.

The incident is being treated as an overdose and not a suicide attempt, WABC-TV said, citing police. Officials with the Knicks would tell the network only that Thomas is fine.

Living the life of Isiah Thomas is tiring. I don't blame him, he just wanted some deep sleep.

There are conflicting reports about exactly what happened in Isiah Thomas' New York home early on Friday morning, with police saying that a 47-year-old man was taken to the hospital and treated for an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

According to the report published by the Associated Press, police did not give any names, but did give the age. When reached on his cell phone by the New York Post, however, Thomas said he was not treated, and the call was for his 17 year old daughter, who had a medical issue.

It "wasn't an overdose," he told the newspaper. "My daughter is very down right now. None of us are OK."

Harrison Police Chief David Hall said the case was not a suicide attempt.

"We're classifying it as an accidental overdose of prescription sleeping pills," Hall said. "I'm not going to confirm or deny that it was Isiah Thomas. It was an individual at his home."

Hall told The Daily News that the man took about 10 Lunesta sleeping pills. "He was unconscious, but breathing on his own," Hall told the paper.

Thomas' 20-year-old son Joshua also said it was his sister, not his father, who required treatment.

"He's fine," the Indiana University student told the Daily News. "Reports of sleeping pills are false."
