Authorities were spotted outside the Las Vegas home of comedian Carrot Top following a reported suicide attempt on Friday.
Per images obtained by TMZ, no less than three police vehicles were seen parked outside the actor’s home on the afternoon of Sept. 18.
Lights appeared to be actively flashing on at least two of the vehicles as cops arrived.
The images — taken by an eyewitness — showed the house surrounded by palm trees, and what appeared to be Las Vegas hotels in the distance.
Sources told the outlet on Friday that the comedian (real name: Scott Thompson) had been hospitalized following an alleged suicide attempt.
The actor’s rep, Jami Schlicher, confirmed to Page Six on Saturday that he was “recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs.”
She added, “His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers and respectfully ask for privacy.”
Schlicher did not address the circumstances leading up to the star’s hospitalization.
Amid the news, Thompson’s self-titled show at the Luxor Hotel and Casino were canceled Friday and Saturday, lurching the decades-long residency into uncertainty.
Reps for the Luxor Hotel and Casino did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Saturday.
The star’s longtime show has been running at the iconic hotel’s Atrium Showroom since 2005, making it one of Sin City’s longest running residencies.
Thompson is famous for his quirky prop-comedy shows at the venue, along with his voluminous curly red hair.
He rose to fame in the 1990s after appearing on TV shows including “Star Search” and “Comic Strip Live,” and has since appeared in numerous cameos as himself.
Most recently, Thompson appeared in a Season 3 episode of the Las Vegas-themed HBO Max comedy “Hacks” opposite Jean Smart’s fictional Vegas comedian, Deborah Vance.
