Carrot Top’s hospitalization has taken another troubling turn as new details emerge about the moments leading up to the medical emergency at his Las Vegas home. The comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, was reportedly found unconscious but breathing near his backyard pool after his manager became concerned about comments he made during a phone call. The latest account also reveals that Thompson allegedly sent his manager a chilling one-word message shortly before authorities arrived.
Police Report Reveals New Details About Carrot Top’s Hospitalization
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, officers were dispatched to the entertainer’s Las Vegas home on September 18 following a call involving a suicidal man. The report offers new details about the circumstances leading to Carrot Top’s hospitalization while a separate legal battle involving an alleged explicit recording continues to unfold.
The claims of sexual misconduct referenced in the police report have not been proven, and the report does not establish the truth of those allegations.
Carrot Top Was Found Unconscious Near His Pool
Medical dispatch reportedly contacted police at approximately 4:21 p.m. on September 18 about an emergency at Carrot Top’s Las Vegas residence. When officers arrived, they allegedly discovered the comedian, whose legal name is Scott Thompson, unconscious in the backyard near his swimming pool. Although he was not responsive, the report stated that he was still breathing.
Emergency personnel transported Thompson to a hospital, where TMZ reported that he has remained under medical care since the incident. The police report did not include a public medical diagnosis or provide further information about his current treatment. Earlier reports indicated that the performer was recovering in the hospital and receiving support from those closest to him.
His Manager Reportedly Received A Troubling Final Text
According to the report, Thompson’s manager told investigators that he had spoken to the comedian shortly before the emergency. The manager reportedly informed Thompson about an article containing claims that the performer had behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner. The report stated that Thompson reacted by saying that his show was going to be over. He also allegedly expressed concern about a third party and her daughter, saying that he hoped they would be “okay without him.”
After the call ended, Thompson reportedly sent his manager a one-word text message: “Done.” The manager then attempted to contact Thompson but could not reach him. Concerned by the statements and the text message, he requested that authorities conduct an emergency response at the comedian’s home.
TMZ reported that Thompson was informed about the impending allegations approximately one hour before the apparent suicide attempt.
A Separate Legal Fight Was Already Unfolding
The emergency occurred amid a contentious legal dispute between Thompson and his former friend Brian Evans. The two have reportedly been battling in court over an alleged sexually explicit recording involving Thompson. Evans has denied wrongdoing and disputed claims that he attempted to improperly pressure the comedian for money.
Page Six previously obtained a September 3 report from the Lake Mary Police Department documenting an allegation made by Thompson’s attorney, Ronnie Bitman. According to that report, Bitman told police that Evans claimed to possess a USB containing “sensitive contents of an explicit video about the client.”
Bitman reportedly alleged that Evans demanded $500,000 and threatened to provide the material to tabloids if Thompson did not pay. The complaint was categorized as “information only, extortion of client.” However, the report did not result in a criminal finding against Evans.
Thompson’s Attorneys Made Similar Claims In Court
Thompson’s legal team raised related allegations in a September 3 filing in Broward County, Florida. His attorneys claimed that Evans demanded “significant sums” while indicating that the alleged recording could be added to a public court filing. Thompson’s team argued that placing the material on a public docket could make it accessible to reporters and other members of the public.
Documents previously reported by Page Six included a request for $500,000 “in immediately available funds, in exchange for resolution of all claims against” Thompson. Evans has denied threatening to release a recording in return for money. He previously maintained that the disputed communication concerned resolving his legal claims and was not an attempt to exchange his silence for payment.
No Criminal Finding Has Been Made Against Brian Evans
Thompson was not present when his attorney contacted the Lake Mary Police Department, and he reportedly lived outside the department’s jurisdiction. The responding officer advised Bitman that Thompson would need to contact the law enforcement agency responsible for the area where he resides. The Lake Mary report did not lead to charges or any criminal finding against Evans.
The Broward County dispute also remains a civil matter, and the allegations made by Thompson’s attorneys have not been established as fact by a court.
