"And then he whipped out. I'm sorry, but crack, and you know what? I might need a little bit of that. I wanted to see what he was doing. And also, I don't mind doing a little crack every now and then."

Comedian Andy Dick apparently ODed on camera. ​Drugs kill.

Andy Dick's friend, who was present at the scene doing livestreaming, told the outlet:

"We were going out to hang out with Andy… had a whole entire day planned. And he got away. He got away from us for a few minutes. He did something that messed him up. I had to run and get Narcan. But it was a group effort of all our friends that, you know, saved him."

After the incident, a Los Angeles Fire Department representative gave a statement to People, saying:

"I can confirm that we did respond to the intersection of Highland and Yucca at the 7-Eleven at 3:14 p.m. for a 59-year-old male. But we did respond to that location for an overdose. He was not transported to the hospital."

The Los Angeles Police Department said a friend brought Andy back home, but they did not share the friend's name, keeping the details private.

Andy has been quite open about his struggles with addiction in the past. In The Artists Project LA YouTube video, uploaded in 2015, he said:

"The main thing that I’ve struggled with over the years, as an actor and really as a person, is the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Right now I’m doing phenomenally. I’m recovering; I’m in recovery. I have a lot of months behind me and hopefully many, many more years ahead of me of sobriety."

Andy Dick added:

"My main advice I give to people is keep going. Don’t give up if you fall off the horse. Get back on it and go for it, because if I can do it. Let me tell you something: you can do it."
