Jim Irsay Was Found Unresponsive In Early December 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jan 17, 2024 8:51 pm

Jim Irsay was found unresponsive and struggling to breathe before being transported to a hospital by paramedics on the morning of Dec. 8, according to a report.

Irsay received a dose of Narcan, a medicine that quickly reverses an opioid overdose, from the first police officers on the scene, according to the report, and \"responded slightly\" before paramedics transported him to a hospital. The incident was classified as a suspected overdose in the documents, according to the report.

Irsay has not been seen publicly in recent weeks, but he did attend a Dec. 16 game, which was eight days after the emergency at his home.

Irsay has a long history of addiction and has admitted to past usage of opioids and other drugs. He revealed in a November interview with HBO Sports that he had been to rehab \"at least 15 times.\" He also said he had a near-fatal incident years ago, saying he went \"code blue\" and had to be revived.
