Isiah's Questionable Story Unravels Further

Just in case there was any question as to the veracity of Isiah Thomas' story that his daughter was the one who overdosed and he was just panicked from that, the police have released their report on the incident. The result? The 47-year-old man who a bucket of media outlets have reported to be Isiah Thomas ... that man wasn't breathing when police arrived.

In the report, a police officer says he went to the former Knicks coach's home in the Purchase section of Harrison around midnight Oct. 23 in response to a report of "(blank) not breathing."

"Upon my arrival I assisted (another officer) who was administering O2 to (blank) lying on the kitchen floor," the report said.

Thomas and his son have attempted to a) pin the 9-1-1 call on Isiah's teenaged daughter, and b) make it seem this has been blown out of proportion, that someone just wasn't feeling well.

If you're not breathing, requiring medics to administer oxygen and ship you to a hospital: that's a big deal. Those things don't happen if you're just not feeling well ... they happen when you're in danger of dying. The delusion involved in attempting to cover this up is staggering.

if someone is not breathing they are dead. Putting an oxygen mask over their mouth is just like blowing wind on a corpse. This report far from makes sense. I want to know if isaiah really wasn't breathing. If that's true, then this was a hefty overdose and he needs urgent psychological support not criticism. As for his inconsistent stories... Families react in extreme ways ti extreme circumstances. they deserve nothing but support.

Isiah is a liar and should be ashamed for smearing his daughter in his feeble attempt to downplay his suicide attempt. And the whole point of CPR/oxygen is to get someone who is not breathing to breathe, you can be revived, you are not a corpse until they put your cold body into the ground. Further, the articles says the police were responding to a "REPORT of (blank) not breathing." The person reporting may have assumed he stopped breathing and the police could have ben administering oxygen to Isiah as he labored to breathe after ingesting 10 Lunesta. What cracks me up is how ingesting 10 Lunesta is an 'accidental overdose'. Uh, read the label, 2 is the max, 10 is a suicide attempt.
