Report: Isiah Thomas ODs on sleeping pills

Former New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas was reportedly hospitalized Friday morning after overdosing on sleeping pills.

Authorities say an ambulance was called to Thomas’ suburban New York home, and someone from the home was taken to a hospital. Various reports say the person taken to the hospital was Thomas.
According to the New York Daily News, police say the victim consumed “roughly 10 Lunesta sleeping pills.”
Harrison Police Department Officer Vincent Lanzillotti says an ambulance responded to the 911 call early Friday. He declined to give any details, except to say a person was taken to White Plains Hospital.
WCBS Radio reported the call involved “an issue with sleeping pills.”
Barry Watkins, vice president of communications for Madison Square Garden, told The Journal News newspaper, “Isiah is fine.”
Late Friday afternoon, a small SUV escorted by a police car pulled into a private road leading to the luxury development in Westchester County where Thomas lives, about 30 miles from midtown Manhattan.
Thomas purchased the house on Azalea Circle in Purchase for more than $4 million in 2004, according to the Journal News.
Thomas was removed from his coaching duties by the Knicks on April 18 following the team’s seventh straight losing season. The Knicks finished last season 23-59
