Colts Owner Jim Irsay Relapsed Before Death
The Post reported Irsay suffered an overdose in Turks and Caicos in February 2020, which required hospitalization for a few days, before he returned to Colts headquarters later that month. In December 2023, Irsay overdosed at his home in suburban Indianapolis and then again 12 days later at a beach resort near Miami, according to the report.
Irsay spent nearly four months in recovery, with the team saying at the time he was being treated for a “severe respiratory illness.” He later said he was recovering from back surgery.
The Post interviewed five people with direct knowledge of Irsay’s relapse for the investigation, all of whom were concerned about the treatment Irsay received from Harry Haroutunian, an addiction specialist. The Post investigation found Haroutunian supplied Irsay with opioids, including more than 200 pills in the days before his December 2023 overdoses, and prescribed Irsay ketamine in the final months of his life.
When Irsay died on May 21 at age 65, Haroutunian signed the death certificate, which listed the cause of death as cardiac arrest caused by acute pneumonia, with two heart conditions, according to The Post. No autopsy or toxicology report was done.

What happen to the doctor? This type of situation is something of a cause celebre.

Addiction is a bitch. But rich addiction at 65 years old, that is just sad. You have to get the help you need but if you are rich and addicted, you can get top level help.
This could have been avoided. The heart conditions? Not always fixable but even then with transplants and such you can extend quite a bit, 10 years or more. Rejection meds these days really makes transplants so easy to manage, but you do have to be drug free for that to work.

Relapse is just a weak moment in time.
Look at me for instance. I try to quit reading your posts. But then I relapse and I read them...... which furthers my alcohol and pot addiction.
In order for me not to relapse...you need to quit posting.

I am by no means laughing at Jim Irsay's decline but that was hilarious.
