LOS ANGELES — “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Thursday with severe abdominal pains, his publicist said.
Few details were available, but according to the celebrity-news website TMZ, which first reported the news, neighbors said he had thrown a party the night before.
Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Jaime Moore would only confirm that firefighters were called to a home in a gated community on West Aubrey Road after 6:30 a.m. and transported an unidentified patient to a local hospital. Cedars-Sinai, citing patient-confidentiality rules, declined to confirm that Sheen was a patient there.
The Emmy-nominated star has been dogged by personal problems and apparent health issues. This is his third hospitalization in as many months. Just last week, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler said network officials “have a high level of concern” about his off-camera behavior.
