Overview
- A court filing by Scott "Carrot Top" Thompson’s lawyer confirmed he attempted suicide and was hospitalized after emergency responders were called to his Las Vegas home.
- A 911 dispatch recording from Friday, Sept. 18, obtained by multiple outlets captured a frantic caller saying Thompson was "trying to commit suicide," barely conscious with legs in or near a pool and being guided through CPR measures.
- Thompson’s representative said he is awake, breathing on his own and improving in the hospital while family remain with him.
- The court documents allege that former opening act Brian Evans tried to extort Thompson over a sex tape and seek immediate protective relief to limit public filings, a claim Evans has denied.
- Thompson’s Luxor residency shows were canceled and the case has raised questions about how courts and media handle sensitive evidence and private recordings in civil disputes.
