NEED TO KNOW

• Andy Dick allegedly suffered an overdose and was found unresponsive in Hollywood on Tuesday, Dec. 9

• An eyewitness thought the comedian "passed away" and tells PEOPLE his face and hands were "blue"

• Shawn Harreol says the comedian was 'nonchalant' and 'not upset' about the incident after being revived from Narcan

An eyewitness who sawAndy Dickmoments after the actor's apparent overdose in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Dec. 9 says the comedian was "blue" and looked as if he had "passed away."

Shawn Harreol, who was present when emergency responders arrived to provide aid to the comedian after he was found unresponsive, tells PEOPLE exclusively, "His body was limp. It was like deadweight. It was blue. I thought he passed away."

"That particular day, I was walking. I got down there. There was a group of guys down there and they had video cameras everywhere. So seemed like they were filming a film or something."

Harreol says he first heard people yelling for help before realizing something serious was happening. "I heard some stuff like, 'Wake him up! Man, wake him up!' And people [were] running around, and I'm like, 'What's going on down there?'"

He explains that he assumed the commotion was part of a filming project happening on the street. "I thought it would probably be more than likely part of a movie," he says.

He didn't realize anything was wrong until he heard the shouting again.

"[Dick] was slumped over at first. And then when they finally started shaking him and doing all this stuff, he came [to]," Harreol recalls. He says he tried calling for help but struggled to reach anyone.

Harreol says paramedics pulled up within minutes and revived Dick. "They put that Narcan stuff in him," he adds, clarifying that he wasn't sure if bystanders or police administered the shot.

He says Dick appeared surprisingly calm after regaining consciousness. "Police [were] talking to him. I went over there and had a joke with him. I was like, 'Hey man, they brought you back to life. You were gone for a minute.' He's like, 'I know.' He wasn't upset about it. It seemed like he already had the experience before, to me. The way he acted about it. All nonchalantly about it."

The eyewitness says theRoad Tripactor's skin tone was unlike anything he'd ever seen. "He was blue. His hands [were] blue and his face was blue."

He explains Dick rebounded from the experience fairly quickly, saying, "I'd say about five minutes. From the time he was blue, from the time I got to have a conversation with him, once he was back cool again? Somewhere between five or 10 minutes."

"I don't know who he left with, but he left with somebody," he adds.

Earlier this week, PEOPLE reported that the actor was "taken home by a friend" according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), after he reportedly suffered an apparent overdose on the streets of Hollywood.

"I can confirm that we did respond to the intersection of Highland and Yucca at the 7-Eleven at 3:14 p.m. for a 59-year-old male," a Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) spokesperson shared in a statement, though they declined to confirm the patient's name, citing HIPAA laws. "But we did respond to that location for an overdose. He was not transported to the hospital."

The LAPD added, "The LAPD did respond for an ambulance overdose," while also declining to confirm the subject's name. They added, "This was a medical emergency issue."

The comedian was seen slumped over a set of stairs outside a building in Hollywood as friends attempted to help him, according to photos obtained byTMZ.

Dick reportedly spoke to the outlet, saying he was alive and okay, though he did not elaborate on the incident.

The actor's reps did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

During the episode, Sharon said she wanted to send the Pink Floyd alum feces in a Tiffany's box.

"I was going to send him one of my Tiffany boxes, but I will save it... You know, it's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, with anybody that passes that has a family, you don't do that," she said.

Sharon continued, "He's a has-been... Oh, my God, he's definitely not wired right. Five wives later, and, you know, hates everybody that's successful, and he's stomping around in his pathetic, homemade Nazi outfit. He's just, he's nuts."

Jason Collins reveals Stage 4 brain cancer diagnosis, says tumor cannot be removed via surgery

Former NBA player Jason Collins has Stage 4 glioblastoma. Collins — who in 2013 became the first openly gay active player in a men's North American sports league —revealed his diagnosisto ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

Collins' diagnosis comes months after his family announced he was dealing with a brain tumor. They did not provide additional details at the time, asking for "support and prayers."

Collins, 47, explained that his family intentionally put out a vague statement, as it wanted to protect his privacy while he was "mentally unable to speak for myself." Collins said he first started experiencing symptoms in the summer, but tried to fight through them at first. But things came to a head in August, when Collins couldn't focus enough to pack for a trip to the US Open with his husband.

After undergoing a CT scan, it was determined Collins had Stage 4 glioblastoma. Given the shape of his cancer, it could not be fully removed without Collins coming out of surgery "different," he told ESPN.

Since his tumor can't be operated on, Collins said the standard prognosis is "only 11 to 14 months."

"Because my tumor is unresectable, going solely with the 'standard of care' — radiation and TMZ — the average prognosis is only 11 to 14 months. If that's all the time I have left, I'd rather spend it trying a course of treatment that might one day be a new standard of care for everyone."

He vowed to seek out new, inventive treatment methods in the hopes that he can find something that helps him, or helps the next person diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Due to his NBA career, Collins said money was not an issue and that he's willing to go anywhere in the world to seek treatment.

Collins drew parallels to when he decided to come out as gay. In both scenarios, he might be able to help people he's never met, Collins explained.

"After I came out, someone I really respect told me that my choice to live openly could help someone who I might never meet. I've held onto that for years. And if I can do that again now, then that matters."

Collins was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. He never played for the franchise, however, as he was traded to the New Jersey Nets. Collins spent a total of 13 seasons in NBA, seeing time with six different franchises.

The majority of his time came with the Nets, which he later joined during his final NBA season. He saw time in 22 games during the 2013-14 season, averaging 7.8 minutes per game in Brooklyn. At the end of the season, Collins announced his retirement from the NBA.

Florida's capital city approves plan to sell golf course built on slaves' graves, despite outcry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Local officials in Florida's capital city have voted to sell a city-owned golf course built on top of the graves of enslaved people to a once-segregated country club, despitevocal oppositionfrom local residents and historians.

Evidence of Florida's slave-holding past lies just beneath the surface of the manicured greens of the Capital City Country Club in one of Tallahassee's most sought-after neighborhoods, in the form of thelong-lost burial groundsof enslaved people who lived and died on the plantation that once sprawled with cotton there.

The Tallahassee City Commission voted 3 to 2 on Wednesday to sell the publicly owned 178-acre (72-hectare) golf course to the politically connected country club for $1.255 million.

The graves beneath the golf course

Back in 2019, archaeologists with the National Park Service identified what they believe to be 23 unmarked graves and 14 possible graves near the 7th hole of the golf course, which is semiprivate and currently operates on city-owned land.

Across the country, many thousands of unmarked andforgotten cemeteriesofenslaved peopleareat riskof being lost, as descendants and volunteers fight development and indifference.

The deal has reopened painful wounds from Tallahassee's segregated past and reignited concerns from local activists, who questioned the city's yearslong delay in building a commemorative site to preserve and protect the unmarked graves, more than four years after the commission voted to do so.

"Like so many other Black people in United States, I'm a descendant of slaves. I don't have the ability to visit the graves of my ancestors. I don't have the luxury to even know most of their names. I don't know their history. And that's why I'm so strong in opposing the sale," said Justin Jordan, a student at Florida A&M University, a public historically Black university in the city.

The terms of the deal

At the time when the real estate deal previously came up at a commission meeting in October, no work had been done on the memorial. Since then, the city has installed a historic marker and cleared paths near the burial grounds, while golfers continue their games on the rolling hills of the course.

Under the terms of the deal, the live oak tree-lined property — prime real estate less than a mile from the Florida's Capitol building — must remain an 18-hole golf course and not be developed. About $98,000 of the proceeds of the sale will fund the city's construction of the commemorative site for the burial grounds, with public access to the memorial guaranteed, on the condition that residents don't "interfere with any active golf game."

As part of the deal, the country club has also committed to hosting FAMU's golf team for practices and collegiate competitions, and the school's board of trustees has endorsed the agreement.

Still, some residents remain skeptical about selling the land to what was once a whites-only club, and they questioned the price tag for the sprawling parcel, given its potential for future development.

The country club, which according to a 2023 tax filing listed Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier as its vice president, has long played host to power players in the city.

"Are we going down the path of a golf course that's a Mar-a-Lago 2 in Leon County? I'm not even joking," said Commissioner Jeremy Matlow, who voted against the sale.

Matlow didn't mention Uthmeier by name, but he referenced the club's "heavy hitters" and "attorney generals" with "connections with President Trump" in his concerns around privatizing the land.

A spokesperson for Uthmeier did not respond to questions about his current relationship to the club.

A history of segregation

Over the decades, the land has bounced back and forth between public and private ownership, with the club paying the city a nominal $1 a year in rent for the past nearly 70 years.

That lease has been in place since 1956, when the club reverted to private ownership, allowing it to sidestep a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that banned the segregation of public parks and recreational facilities. Among the club's former members was a judge whose nomination to the nation's highest court failed after he faced questions about whether he helped privatize the club to avoid integration.

Ultimately, the deal won support from a majority of commissioners, including the board's two Black members.

Commissioner Dianne Williams-Cox spoke of moving beyond the city's past and reinvesting the revenue back into public services.

"When we talk about considering the racist, segregationist history of this country club, OK," she said. "Get in line with all the other things that we've had to overcome to be able to move forward."

French tennis pro Quentin Folliot receives 20-year suspension for alleged match-fixing

The International Tennis Integrity Agency has suspended French pro Quentin Folliot for 20 years for alleged match-fixing.

Folliot will be fined $70,000 and forced to return $44,000 in "corrupt payments," after he was found to have committed 27 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program, the ITIA announced Thursday.

French tennis player Quentin Folliot has been suspended for 20 years following 27 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program.https://t.co/MqgnJkzYzEpic.twitter.com/gcnePIV3I9

— International Tennis Integrity Agency (@itia_tennis)December 11, 2025

As a central figure in what the ITIA is calling a tennis match-fixing syndicate, Folliot was initially hit with 30 charges spread over 11 matches between 2022 and 2024. The 26-year-old Frenchman's highest rank came in August 2022 at No. 488. His official career earnings are $60,047.

In a statement, the ITIA said:

"Contriving the outcome of matches, receiving money to not give best efforts for betting purposes, offering money to other players to fix matches, provision of inside information, conspiracy to corrupt, failure to co-operate with an ITIA investigation, and destruction of evidence."

A provisional suspension was already being served by Folliot since May 2024. The time he's already served in suspension will be counted toward the 20-year ban. Folliot will be eligible to compete again on May 16, 2044, at the age of 45.

Aside from Folliot,five other players have been suspended this year for violating the TACP, although his has been the most severe. Natthasith Kunsuwan, Jaimee Floyd Angele, Christian Lindell, Samuel Bensoussan and Lucas Boquet have all been suspended for violating the TACP. Kunsuwan's punishment has been the harshest outside of Folliot's, as the suspension is 12 years with a fine of $75,000.

Suspended players are barred from competing, coaching or attending ITIA-authorized tennis events. This includes the ATP, WTA and the four major tournaments.

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson to reprise their roles for new 'Hunger Games' movie 'Sunrise on the Reaping'

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are returning to the world of Panem to reprise their roles as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark from the originalHunger Gamesfilms for the prequel,The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,multipleoutletsreported.

Lionsgate will release the new film, which is adapted from author Suzanne Collins's dystopian novel of the same name, in theaters on Nov. 20, 2026.

Sunrise on the Reapingis set 24 years before Katniss and Peeta stepped onto the deadly field as reluctant tributes representing District 12. Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), who was the sole surviving victor of previous Hunger Games from District 12, served as a mentor for Katniss and Peeta.

The story ofSunrisefocuses on 16-year-old Haymitch, portrayed by Joseph Zada, as he fights to survive his own Hunger Games — all while refusing to bend the knee to the ruthless Capitol, which selects twice the number of tributes. Haymitch and 47 other children are sent into the deadly arena.

While no specifics have been released about Lawrence and Hutcherson's roles in the upcoming movie, Collins'sSunrise on the Reapingnovel has a flash-forward scene with a grown Katniss and Peeta, where Haymitch recounts his experience in the Hunger Games to them.

Hutcherson toldVarietyin November, "I would love to be back on set with [director] Francis [Lawrence], with Jen, with Liam, with Woody [Harrelson]," the star said. "It would not take any convincing at all. I'd be there in a heartbeat."

Sunrise on the Reapingis the sixth movie in the Hunger Games franchise and comes after the 2023 adaptation ofThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which starred Tom Blyth as a young President Snow and Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird, a singer forced to compete in the Hunger Games.

Lionsgate dropped astar-studdedteaser for the new movie back in November, including Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, Mckenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, Ralph Fiennes as President Snow, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket and Glenn Close as Drusilla Sickle.
