Carrot Top attempted to take his own life at his Las Vegas home after being told that allegations of sexual misconduct were due to emerge, according to a police report.
Police were called to the comedian’s property on September 18 after medical dispatch reported a suicidal man. Officers said they found him unconscious in the back garden by the pool, although he was breathing.
Carrot Top’s manager told officers he had informed the performer about an article containing claims that he had behaved sexually inappropriately.
The comedian reportedly said his show was going to be over and expressed hope that a third party and her daughter would be “okay without him”. The call ended after he sent his manager a text reading: “Done.”
The manager told police he could not make contact with Carrot Top afterwards and asked authorities to attend the property.
Carrot Top was taken to hospital and has remained there since the incident, according to the report.
The comedian and his former friend Brian Evans have been involved in a court dispute for months over an alleged explicit tape involving Carrot Top. Evans denies all allegations of wrongdoing.
