Concerning moment Cher's son found in zombie state in 40C heat after 'overdose'
The son of iconic singer Cher, Elijah Blue Allman, sparked concern in disturbing footage as he appeared to be in a "zombie-like" state in soaring Californian heat Shocking footage of Cher's son appearing "zombie-like" in intense heat has emerged. The disturbing scenes show Elijah Blue Allman being spoken to by law enforcement officers. The footage came shortly before he was rushed to hospital high on drugs. He was seen receiving medical care after he was found by a friend standing 'statue still' in a garden. He is said to have appeared to be in a 'foggy, zombie-like' state during the ordeal. According to witnesses from the area, the 48-year-old was badly sunburned and had swollen hands and feet. He was seen standing still in the 104F (40C) heat in California. Footage of the incident was obtained by the Sun. The publication said police searched an AirBnb property, reportedly owned by his friend and Matthew Perry's ex Kayti Edwards, after he was taken to hospital. In the images, it appeared as though heroin and white fentanyl powder was visible across a side-table. There was also rolled up paper visible. A "Danger" sign was later stuck to the property by they San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. The notice pinned to the front window explained "evidence of fentanyl" had been discovered. There was also Ring doorbell footage of Elijah looking unsteady on his feet. Speaking of the situation and Elijah's condition, a friend told The Sun: "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." The insider claimed Elijah had been staying at the property for over a week after reaching out to his friend. "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," they added. 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.' Earlier in the week, news of Elijah's hospitalisation was revealed. According to TMZ at the time, Elijah, who iconic singer Cher shares with the late Gregg Allman, is "very lucky to have survived." An insider told the publication: "Cher is focusing on "doing everything she can to get him the help he needs". They added: "Just like any mother, Cher's only concern right now is for her son's well-being, and she's doing everything she can to get him the help he needs." Elijah has a history of substance abuse. Two years ago his mum filed for a conservatorship to control his access to his money. The singer had previously claimed he was "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues." *Frank offers confidential advice about drugs and addiction (email frank@ message 82111 or call 0300 123 6600) or the NHS has information about getting help.

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. Read more on Elijah Blue Allma 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.' 8 Elijah and Cher attend the 5th Annual Fire and Ice Ball in 1994 8 A police 'danger' notice is pinned to the front window of Kayti's AirBnb 8 Ring security footage appears to show a dishevelled Elijah unsteady on his feet as he carries his drug haul in from the car 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. 8 Elijah and Cher are pictured in 2002 '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.
