Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is lucky to be alive as a new report from TMZ paints a frightening image of his near-death experience from just over a month ago.
According to the report, Irsay was found “unresponsive” on the bathroom floor at his residence in Carmel, Indiana on December 8, due to a suspected overdose. Police responded to a call at around 4:30 am, and upon their arrival, Irsay had been moved to his bed, where he was “struggling to breathe and had a weak pulse and constricted pupils.”
Police documents indicate that they attempted to revive Irsay with a sternum rub. When that didn’t work, they tried Narcan, which is used to revive individuals experiencing opiate overdoses.
After “responding slightly” to that, paramedics arrived and took other “life-saving” efforts before transporting Irsay to a nearby hospital, where he was successfully treated.
While it remains unknown exactly what Irsay ingested, his reason for hospitalization was classified as “overdose/poisoning.”
Irsay hadn’t been seen around the team in the ensuing weeks, and it was recently reported that he was receiving treatment in a hospital for a “respiratory illness.” No word yet on whether his current ailment is related to his December overdose.
Irsay has previously opened up about his drug and alcohol addiction, which almost cost him his life in previous years.
The Colts issued a statement following his most recent hospitalization, indicating that Irsay is receiving “excellent care” and hopes to return to the stage to perform with his “Jim Irsay Band” soon.
Let’s hope he recovers from this and is able to overcome his demons once and for all.
