Per a police report obtained by Page Six, Thompson was found unconscious near his backyard pool during a welfare check, and was transported to a local hospital.

The welfare check came after Thompson’s manager said got off the phone with Thompson after discussing an article containing sexual misconduct allegations that was set to be released.

Per the police report, the actor’s manager alleged he was distraught and texted “done” shortly after they ended the call.

Page Six confirmed Thompson was released to recover at home on Sept. 26.
