More information is beginning to surface concerning Colts owner Jim Irsay who was found unresponsive in December, turning blue and was cold to the touch in a suspected overdose.
Irsay was found on December 8 around 4:30 am at his home in Carmel, Indiana gasping for air. His estate staff told police he had fallen in the bathroom, and they had moved him to his bedroom. Police determined that the incident was an “overdose” and “overdose/poisoning,” according to a report by TMZ.
When officers found him, Irsay was having severe breathing issues, had a weak pulse, and constricted pupils, according to the police report filed on the incident.
Police tried to rouse Irsay by rubbing his sternum, according to TMZ. He was given a dose of Narcan that “he responded slightly” to.
Shortly after that, paramedics arrived on the scene and administered “lifesaving efforts.” Irsay was then taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance. A list of medications that the football coach was taking at the time was given to the police by a caretaker.
“At this time, it is unknown what Mr. Irsay had ingested prior to our arrival,” police noted in their report.
“This incident happened roughly one month before the Colts announced on Jan. 9 that Irsay was being treated for a ‘severe respiratory illness’ that caused him to miss a scheduled show for his band,” the New York Post reported.
“An ESPN Colts reporter noted at the time that Irsay, who is one of the more highly visible owners in the NFL, had not been seen in public for several weeks,” the media outlet added.

No additional details at the moment.
