The abdominal pains that apparently took Charlie Sheen in the hospital may have been caused by a hernia. He was rushed from his home to a hospital in the Los Angeles area by ambulance on Thursday morning.
Though the L.A. Fire Department confirmed that the actor was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a friend of the actor shot down rumors that his hospitalization was the result of a drug overdose.
According to Extra, Charlie, 45, told pal Steve Brodersen that he's "not dying" anytime soon; he's simply being treated for a "hernia" injury.
Added his rep: "He was having severe abdominal pains and went to the hospital."
Extra also reports that Charlie may need surgery as soon as Friday to repair the hernia.
