juddling Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm surprised to not see a thread about him being rushed to the hospital after 'accidentally taking 10 prescription sleeping pills. Anyways...the douche that is Isiah Thomas has decided to claim the ambulance called to his home was for his daughter and not him despite the police and fire chief saying otherwise. It's almost laughable..... NEW YORK (AP) -- A suburban police chief likened the conflicting accounts of an accidental overdose at Isiah Thomas' home to a "cover-up" and rebuked the former New York Knicks coach Saturday for saying it was his teenage daughter who required treatment. "It wasn't his daughter," Harrison Police Chief David Hall told The Associated Press. "And why they're throwing her under the bus is beyond my ability to understand." Authorities were called early Friday to Thomas' Westchester County home, where police said a 47-year-old man was taken to the hospital and treated for an overdose of sleeping pills. Several media outlets reported that police confirmed it was Thomas who went to the hospital. But reached on his cell phone Friday, the 47-year-old NBA great told the New York Post he had not been treated for a sleeping pill overdose, and that it was 17-year-old daughter Lauren who had a medical issue. It "wasn't an overdose," he told the newspaper. "My daughter is very down right now. None of us are OK." Hall forcefully refuted Thomas' statement. "My cops ... know the difference between a 47-year-old black male and a young black female," Hall said. "These people should learn something from Richard Nixon -- it's not the crime, it's the cover-up," he added. Voice mails and text messages from the AP were left on Thomas' cell phone Saturday. Messages left earlier with Thomas' publicist and two of his attorneys were not returned. No suicide note was found, and police were classifying the case as an "accidental drug overdose" on "a number" of prescription sleeping pills, Hall said. Hall would not confirm the identity of the hospitalized man. Thomas' 20-year-old son, Joshua, also said it was his sister, not his father, who required treatment. "He's fine," the Indiana University student told the Daily News. "Reports of sleeping pills are false." The developments, days before the start of another season, are the latest drama in what has been a difficult year for Thomas. He was fired as the Knicks' coach April 18 after a season of dreadful basketball, a tawdry sexual harassment lawsuit and unending chants from fans demanding his dismissal. Still, he was retained by the organization as an adviser and consultant. "Isiah Thomas spoke with members of the New York Knicks organization and is OK," the Knicks said in a statement. "He is dealing with a family matter, and we will have no further comment. He has asked that we respect his privacy, and we will." An ambulance and two police officers responded to a 911 call that came in from the Thomas home a couple minutes after midnight, Hall said. The victim was taken about 5 miles from the home to White Plains Hospital Center, where officials declined to identify the overdose patient.

whitesoxfan101 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not surprising. He's a horrible person and only a horrible person would put something like that on his young daughter when it was his own mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 You really cant overdose on Lunesta.Once you get a certain amount in your system your body just stops absorbing the rest.And out of all the sleeping pills Lunesta is one of the least powerful, if you took ten Ambien on the other hand you might run down I55 naked and not remember a thing the next morning.

That sounds like me, but instead of ten Ambien it was twenty beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) He was great and then Jordan came along. The many psych classes I have in me make me think that this drama stems from Jordan. I was willing to reluctantly give him the benefit of the doubt about the assault case, but dude is shooting himself in the foot with this one. He's throwing his own daugher in the midst of her development under the bus for no good reason, and it looks like he's getting his own family to cover his ass- It's pathetic.
