Summary
A newly released Miami-Dade police report says first responders treated Perez Hilton at his Miami-area home for an overdose and multiple lacerations before taking him to a hospital.
The August 4 emergency followed an alarming TikTok livestream and a reported possible suicide attempt; Hilton was later placed under Florida’s Baker Act for involuntary mental-health evaluation.
Barbara Lavandeira told authorities she found her brother in a bathroom with a box cutter, covered in blood, after he had stopped responding behind a locked bedroom door, then moved his three children outside and called 911.
Family members said Hilton had been struggling with depression, anxiety and intrusive thoughts after severe health problems earlier this year, including sepsis and emergency surgery for a blood clot.
An August 9 family update said he was in serious but stable condition and would need more surgeries, while his mother sought temporary custody of his three children during treatment and recovery.
