Witnesses say troubled Elijah, 48, Cher's youngest son, was badly sunburned and had swollen hands and feet as he stood motionless in the searing 104 degree heat in Joshua Tree, California.
A video, caught on a Ring security camera earlier that day, appears to show a dishevelled Elijah unsteady on his feet as he carries his drug haul in from the car.
He was dressed scruffily in blue shorts and a dirty white t-shirt, and was unshaven, with unkempt hair.
The Sun can reveal the house is owned by his close pal and former Matthew Perry girlfriend, Kayti Edwards.

HOSPITAL DASH Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman, 48, rushed to hospital after overdose
Elijah went on a binge in the AirBnb and took a cocktail of heroin and fentanyl, a potent opioid drug, before paramedics were alerted, a close source told The Sun.
Cops searched the property after he was taken to hospital and in photos seen by The Sun, heroin and white fentanyl powder are seen sprawled across a side-table next to rolled up paper.
The powder appeared to have been 'chopped up' and snorted on the back of an iPhone.
Cops subsequently stuck a "danger" notice to the front window of the AirBnB warning of the presence of fentanyl.
While news reports claim Elijah was taken to hospital for a suspected overdose, friends have described the incident more as a drug-induced episode.
They say Elijah, who has a history of substance abuse, desperately needs help.
Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman, 48, rushed to hospital after overdose as singer says she is 'doing everything she can'
Kayti, 48, told pals she was at the property on Saturday afternoon to check on Elijah after his behaviour had spiralled out of control in the days before.
And on arrival she found him standing 'statue still' in the front yard in a 'foggy, zombie-like' state.
A friend said: 'Kayti found him just standing there, unresponsive in her front yard, getting badly sunburned.
'He was blinking his eyes rapidly, but didn't acknowledge her at all.
'His hands and feet were also swollen, with scabs turning black, an affect of the drugs, that was what most concerned Kayti.'
Paramedics were called and arrived on scene with police officers from San Bernardino Police Department - as is standard with drug call outs.
The officers later executed a search warrant at the property and left a warning notice stating they had found fentanyl at the property.
The pal said: 'Even the paramedics couldn't get through to Elijah when they arrived, he was just stood there staring into space for around ten minutes.
'Kayti had to convince him to snap out of it and to get on the stretcher and get some medical help.'

They added: 'Elijah had been staying at Kayti's AirBnb for over a week by that point, he arrived on June 6.
'They're old friends and he reached out and told her he needed to get out of LA and needed a place to stay.
'She met with him and took him out for dinner with her family and he stayed at a house she rents out, but she grew more and more worried about his odd behaviour.
'She'd known he had issues with drugs in the past but thought he was finally clean, but it quickly became apparent that wasn't the case, it's all very sad.'
Pal Kayti, the granddaughter of screen legend Julie Andrews, had already lost her ex Matthew Perry to a drug overdose in October, 2023, and feared the same would happen to Elijah.
The friend said: 'He's had drug problems for years and Kayti had supported him in the past as he tried to get clean.
'She was really worried about him when she saw what state he was in.'
In a statement given to The Sun, pal Kayti said: 'Elijah and I have been close since we were teens.

'Although the whole thing that happened was really scary for me it could have been a lot worsened I am glad he's in a safe spot getting better.'
Pals fears Elijah's troubling condition may have been down to the heroin he took being laced with Xylazine - a powerful veterinary tranquilliser which can slow breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure to dangerously low levels.
Xylazine has become increasingly popular on the US drug scene, as has Fentanyl which he also took.
Fentanyl is the potent opioid drug which has infuriated President Trump who sparked a trade war with China, Mexico and Canada, accusing them of doing very little to stem the flow of the drug in the US.
Last night Elijah was still being treated in hospital, but it's understood he has been transferred to a private facility in Pasadena.
His famous mum Cher is said to be focused on getting him the help he needs and rallying around him, according to a source.
A spokesperson for San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said: "Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically.
'When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel.'
'Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing."
Elijah's drug history is well known.
His hospitalisation comes a year and a half after his hitmaker mum Cher was denied her request to be granted a conservatorship over her son.
Cher was concerned that funds given to Elijah from his trust would be 'immediately spent on drugs,' according to legal documents.
A judge ruled there was 'insufficient evidence' and denied the request without prejudice.
In response to the petition, Elijah acknowledged his struggles 'with addiction' and admitted he 'spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible.'
But he said he was under a doctor's care and had been attending AA meetings at the time.
"I recently passed a drug test and am willing to submit to future drug tests," he added in the documents.
"I am clean and sober from illicit substances for over 90 days now and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.'
Elijah's dad is Greg Allman, a frontman and co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band and a trailblazer of Southern Rock.
He died in 2017 from liver cancer complications at his home in Savannah, Georgia.
Cher's other son Chaz Bono was the product of the singer's relationship with Sonny Bono.
She and Sonny performed together as Sonny & Cher before they split in 1974.

Dua Lipa shocks fans by bringing 90s singer on stage as she stuns in diamonte bodysuit in front of star-studded crowd
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DUA Lipa gave her fans a surprise by bringing a 90s band on stage in front of a star-studded crowd. The singer, 29, stunned in a diamonte bodysuit as she performed at Wembley Stadium. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Dua Lipa wowed at Wembley in a diamonte bodysuit Credit: Getty 4 She emulated her idol Madonna with an impressive achievement Credit: Getty 4 90s icon Jay Kay of Jamiroquai made a surprise appearance Credit: Getty However, Dua's fans were in for a total shock when she brought out legendary 90s band Jamiroquai. Formed in 1992, vocalist Jay Kay, 55, fronts the acid jazz and funk band. Jay arrived wearing a black hat with purple trim, purple trousers and white fringe jacket. One fan wrote online: "She brought out Jamiroquai! She did that for me." Another shared: "Just saw Dua Lipa bring Jamiroquai out at Wembley. Some month and I haven't even got to glasto yet." It comes as Dua has emulated her idol Madonna by playing the iconic venue aged just 29. Dua's first UK gig was at a 375-people capacity venue in Hackney nine years ago. She is the same age as Madonna was when she headlined Wembley in 1987 as part of her Who's That Girl Tour. Just five other women — Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Adele and Pink — have headlined the venue. Only Swift and Rihanna were younger than Dua, both performing there aged 28. 'Shaken' Dua Lipa in terrifying security scare after fans sneak into her hotel and are found outside her bedroom An insider told The Sun: 'Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She's not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve. 'To be headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She's on cloud nine.' Elsewhere, Lidl has recreated Dua Lipa's viral pickle and jalapeño juice Cola drink. The superstar previously divided fans after sharing her unusual recipe on TikTok. At the time, celebrities like Gordon Ramsay and Prue Leith even tried the concoction for themselves. In a post that received over 11.5K views Gordon mixed Dua Lipa's recommended spicy ingredients in with his Diet Coke, and took a large sip - only to end up spitting it out in disgust. "Dua Lipa, for God's sake, girl!" he shouted while coughing. Dua Lipa's love life: A history Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past? Isaac Carew Dua dated the British model and chef twice. The started dating in 2015 before splitting up two years later due to scheduling issues. They rekindled their romance in 2018 before splitting for good a year later. Paul Klein After she broke up from Isaac in 2017, she embarked on a new relationship that same year with the musician. They broke up after just five months of dating in 2018. Anwar Hadid One of her most high-profile relationships was with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. Although they quarantined together during the COVID-19 Pandemic they called it quits in 2021 as Dua wanted to focus on being single Jack Harlow In December 2022, it was claimed that both of the music pairing were 'hanging out' together. Although after a few months it seemed that the relationship fizzled out. Romain Gavras The French director was first linked to Dua back in 2023 when they were seen in London leaving the BAFTA Awards afterparty together in February. They later walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were later pictured together over the summer that year in July and August as they celebrated his birthday. She has since deleted mentions of him off of her Instagram. Callum Turner In January 2024, Callum celebrated the release of his Apple TV+ series, Masters of Air. The pair were spotted together at the afterparty of the premiere in Los Angeles. They were then spotted getting close on a number of dates. Insiders since revealed that the duo have travelled together and have met each other's families. The pair then became more public with their relationship before rumours circulated of an engagement over the festive period. The singer appeared to confirm the news on social media, posting a photo with her huge ring in plain sight. "You'll ruin your vocal cords, s***," the restaurateur warned to the singer before ending the video. Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on ITV, Prue's verdict was: "The drink was 'far too sweet'". Continuing, the Bake Off judge added she "liked the jalapenos", but thought it could be improved with "a little bit of vinegar" to balance flavourss.
