Police: Isiah Thomas Overdosed On Sleeping Pills

Sandra Rose October 24, 2008

According to police, former Pistons coach Isiah Thomas overdosed on sleeping pills.

Harrison police were called to the NBA legend’s home around midnight last night to investigate a report of a possible overdose on sleeping pills. Police did not indicate how many pills Thomas took.

Thomas was fired as coach of the New York Knicks earlier this year. Two years ago, Thomas was sued by a former Knicks employee who accused him of sexual harassment.

Thomas and Madison Square Garden reached a settlement with the woman last year.

Published reports say the call came in just after midnight, describing a 46-year-old male at the Azalea Circle home. It was not indicated whether drugs or alcohol were involved. Thomas is 47.

New York Knicks officials would only say that Isiah Thomas is fine. (Source)

Wow, I’m really sad to hear this news. Isaiah is really falling apart. I pray he gets it together before too much more damage is done.

I agree with Bird. I hope that everything gets better. That’s how it is though when you live a life full of luxury for so long and don’t have someone to pull you back when you get ‘out there’. You do something stupid and BAM! Reality pulls you back with force and the impact isn’t fun. He needs support from family and friends….if they are any.

Its easy to overdose on sleeping pills, especially when you’re popping the ambien and sleep still isn’t coming to you; I think they’re some of the worst things on the market. He needs to holla at Jesus so he can give him rest.

Isaiah use to be one of my favorite players (with them daisy dukes on) when he played with the “Bad Boys” – Detroit Pistons. That use to irk me when he and Magic use to kiss at the beginning of games. Ugh!
