Actor Charlie Sheen was back in rehab on Friday and production of American TV's most popular comedy, "Two and a Half Men," was on hold, one day after a person who called emergency services said the actor was intoxicated and in pain.
According to a person familiar with the emergency call placed on Thursday, one of Sheen's neighbors told an emergency operator that the actor was "intoxicated" and complaining of abdominal and chest pains.
The person familiar with the call, who was not authorized to publicly discuss details, spoke on Friday on condition of anonymity. Copies of the call probably won't be ready for release by the Los Angeles Fire Department until tomorrow, a department spokesman said.
Sheen, 45, was taken to a Los Angeles area hospital and was there until around midnight on Thursday, said his publicist, Stan Rosenfield, who cited the actor's history of hernia problems. Rosenfield said that Sheen was in rehab, but he did not say why.
"Charlie Sheen has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today," the spokesman said. "He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern."
The statement noted that no additional information will be provided.
CBS, production company Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Chuck Lorre said in a joint statement that Sheen's rehab has prompted a halt on production of "Two and a Half Men."
"We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision," the statement said.
