In December, police discovered Colts president Jim Irsay unresponsive in bed, according to a report.

According to Carmel Police Department documents obtained by TMZ, officers responded to a call on December 8 and discovered Irsay with a weak pulse and difficulty breathing.

According to the records, officers discovered Irsay on the bathroom floor and subsequently transferred him to his bed, where they administered a sternum massage and a small amount of Narcan in an attempt to revive him.

After administering the medication, which is frequently used to counteract opiate overdoses, paramedics were called to the location to take control of the situation.

The incident is classified as an “overdose” or “poisoning” in the police records, with the stipulation that the specific medications or substances that Irsay may have consumed are unknown to the officers.

A recent team statement stated that Irsay is undergoing treatment due to a “severe respiratory illness”; however, the nature of the connection between this illness and the incident that occurred in December remains unknown.

Last month, paramedics transported Colts owner Jim Irsay to the hospital on suspicion of an overdose after discovering him unresponsive as well as struggling to breathe, according to the police report obtained through ESPN.

On December 8, emergency personnel discovered Irsay in a bedridden state with a cold body temperature when they arrived at his location, according to a report provided by Carmel, Indiana, police. An officer noted that Irsay’s pulse had been “weak and slow” in the report.

ESPN obtained radio traffic at 4:32 a.m. that indicated fire rescue workers were dispatched to Irsay’s residence in response to a report of an “unconscious person.”

We do not have any additional information regarding Jim’s personal health and continue to request that the privacy of Jim and his family be respected.

The initial police officers at the location administered Narcan to Irsay, a medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, according to the report. He “responded slightly” to the medication before rescuers transported him to a hospital.

Officers observed that Irsay had recently been prescribed a variety of medications; however, they initially did not know the precise substance he had consumed before being discovered in distress. To maintain patient confidentiality, the report omitted the precise medications.

The Colts stated on Wednesday, stating that Mr. Irsay is making progress in recovering from his respiratory illness, following their announcement last week about his affliction with what they termed “severe respiratory illness.”

Despite Colts officials consistently maintaining their stance that they would not comment on personal matters, the team received numerous inquiries about Irsay’s whereabouts and health in the weeks that followed.

The team reversed its previous position last week when it stated Irsay’s respiratory illness, stating that it would prevent the singer from attending a concert and exhibit at the Irsay Collection in Los Angeles.

“He is receiving outstanding treatment or looks forward to coming to the developmental stage as quickly as possible,” according to the statement.

Christopher Ballard, general manager, stated later in the week that Irsay is “stable, and they’re working through it.” Beyond that, he declined to elaborate.

Irsay, 64, has admitted to a lengthy history of substance abuse, including previous use of opioids and other substances.

In a December interview with HBO Sports, he disclosed that he had attended rehabilitation “at least fifteen times.” Furthermore, he recounted a near-fatal incident from years ago when medical professionals revived him after he went “code blue.”

Irsay has previously attributed his painkiller addiction to his utilization following a succession of surgical procedures throughout the years.

Shoulder and pelvic injuries that have persisted for years and required multiple procedures significantly impaired Irsay’s mobility.

In 2020, the Irsay family initiated the prosperous Kicking the Stigma campaign, which served as a continuation of Irsay’s candid stance concerning addiction and mental health.

The organization has disbursed over $25 million in grants to entities operating in the mental health sector.
