UPDATED: Charlie Sheen Condition ‘Serious,’ But Actor Did Not Overdose

Charlie Sheen was rushed to the hospital by ambulance early Thursday morning, and his condition is said to be “serious,” however, despite internet rumors, the actor did not overdose, nor is he in a coma, a source told Access Hollywood.

Sheen, who the source said has been partying lately, with no plans on stopping, had been vomiting during the early hours of Thursday morning and the actor was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Access Hollywood has learned that Sheen was alert and talking at the hospital on Thursday.

His father, Martin Sheen, and his mother, Janet, went to the facility, the source said.

The source told Access on Thursday afternoon that two of Sheen’s exes – ex wife Denise Richards and estranged wife Brooke Mueller (they filed for divorce in November 2010) — also went to the hospital.

As for Richards, on Thursday evening, she Tweeted her grattitude to those who reached out with messages of encouragement.

“Thank you so much for you kind and supportive messages..it means a lot …thank u…x,” she wrote.

On Wednesday night, Sheen had several people over to his home the source told Access.

A rep for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed they responded to a 911 call from Sheen’s address at 6:35 AM PST.

According to TMZ, which first reported the hospitalization, two women left the actor’s home at the same time he was put into an ambulance en route to the medical facility. Access’ source could not confirm that information.

“He was having severe abdominal pains and went to the hospital,” Sheen’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, told Access Hollywood earlier in the day on Thursday.

Sheen’s hospitalization comes less than a day after his “Two and A Half Men” co-star, Jon Cryer, admitted he checks the Sheen news online before heading to work on the CBS sitcom in the morning.

“It’s always a little weird because like the stuff you hear is just unbelievable,” Cryer told Conan O’Brien on Wednesday night’s “Conan.” “I mean like…I’m checking TMZ, as I do everyday, to know if I have to go to work at all.”

Additionally, a little over a week ago, Nina Tassler, president of CBS’ entertainment division, told reporters they were concerned about Sheen’s recent behavior.

“We have a high level of concern and how could we not?” Tassler previously told reporters at the Television Critics Association Winter 2011 Session. “On a very basic human level, concern, of course. This man is a father; he’s got children; he has a family… but you can’t look at it simplistically.”

Tassler said Sheen understood the network has concerns, but the actor was meeting all of his obligations to the show.

“I don’t know what personal concern — what personal information has been given to him, but he certainly knows how we feel… he knows the level of concern that we have,” she said at the time. “Right now, the show continues to be as successful as it always is. Everyone is doing their job and things are continuing as planned.”

“Two and A Half Men” is currently on hiatus this week, according to TMZ.

Sheen has had several medical issues in the past several months.

On January 13, a lawyer for the actor confirmed to Access that Sheen was back at work after seeking treatment for an ear infection the day before.

Back in October 2010, authorities in New York City took him to the hospital.

Sheen’s rep told Access at the time that Sheen had “an adverse allergic reaction to some medication,” which required the hospital visit.
