He took a fall, probably Wed. night, and another friend of his called the police to do a wellness check on him Thursday morning, when D hadn't gotten back to him. The police found him barely conscious and took him to the ER at St Jospeh's Hospital in Burbank, a top-notch facility. When D didn't return my calls on ...
