Another sorrowful news hit the Indianapollis colts as Shane Steichen has regreatfully announced the death of…
By the time the police arrived, Irsay was in bed, but the report stated that he was experiencing breathing difficulties, a weak pulse, and constricted pupils.
After taking one dose of Narcan, which is intended to help people who have overdosed on opiates, Irsay “responded slightly,” according to TMZ, after the police tried in vain to wake him up with a sternum rub.
After that, paramedics arrived to assist with “livesaving (sic) efforts,” and Irsay was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Irsay’s medications were given to the police by his caretaker.

According to TMZ, police stated in their report that “it is unknown what Mr. Irsay had ingested prior to our arrival.”
This event occurred about a month prior to the Colts revealing on January 9 that Irsay was receiving treatment for a “severe respiratory illness” that resulted in him missing a band gig.
One of the NFL’s more well-known owners, Irsay, had not been seen in public for several weeks, according to a report from ESPN Colts.
The Colts released a statement earlier this month that stated, “While this unfortunately means he won’t be able to perform with his band this week in Los Angeles, he is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible.” “At this point, we won’t have any more information, and we kindly ask that you respect Jim and his family’s privacy while he heals.”
Irsay admitted to having struggled with addiction to Andrea Kramer in November.
He claimed to have visited a rehab center “at least 15 times” and to have mixed drugs during a detox attempt, which resulted in an overdose.
In an episode of “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel,” Irsay told Kramer, “The doctor goes, ‘Um, Jim, you’re one lucky man because I had signed virtually the death certificate.”
It is estimated that Jim Irsay has a net worth of $6.4 billion ($US4.3 billion).
