Authorities were seen outside comedian Carrot Top’s Las Vegas home Friday following reports of an alleged suicide attempt.
Images obtained by TMZ showed at least three police vehicles parked outside the actor’s residence on the afternoon of Sept. 18.
At least two of the vehicles appeared to have their emergency lights flashing as officers arrived.
The eyewitness photographs showed the palm tree-lined property, with what appeared to be Las Vegas hotels visible in the distance.
Sources told the outlet Friday that the comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, had been hospitalized after an alleged suicide attempt.
Thompson’s representative, Jami Schlicher, confirmed to Page Six Saturday that he was “recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and support he needs.”
“His family and those closest to him are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers and respectfully ask for privacy,” Schlicher said.
Schlicher did not provide details about the circumstances surrounding the entertainer’s hospitalization.

Following the reports, Thompson’s self-titled show at the Luxor Hotel and Casino was canceled Friday and Saturday, raising questions about the future of his decades-long Las Vegas residency.
Representatives for the Luxor Hotel and Casino did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment Saturday.
Thompson’s longtime production has been staged at the iconic hotel’s Atrium Showroom since 2005, ranking it among Sin City’s longest-running residencies.
He is known for his offbeat prop-comedy performances at the venue, as well as his signature mass of curly red hair.
Thompson became widely known in the 1990s after appearing on television programs including “Star Search” and “Comic Strip Live.” He has since made numerous cameo appearances as himself.
Most recently, Thompson appeared in a Season 3 episode of the Las Vegas-set HBO Max comedy “Hacks,” opposite Jean Smart’s fictional casino comedian, Deborah Vance.
