Carrot Top awake, breathing on his own following alleged suicide attempt

The comedian’s (real name Scott Thompson) representative, Jami Schlicher, told Page Six, “Scott remains hospitalized and under close medical care. He is now awake, breathing on his own and continuing to improve, surrounded by his family and those closest to him.

“Humor has always been such an important part of who Scott is and how he connects with people, and that remains true today as he shares moments of humor with the medical staff caring for him,” she continued.

Carrot Top attempted suicide Friday in the Las Vegas area before being rushed to a local hospital, sources told TMZ.

Schlicher confirmed the comedian’s hospitalization to Page Six at the time, but did not address the circumstances that led to it.
