Overview
- Ving Rhames, 66, collapsed while eating with his family at Granville in North Hollywood, with firefighters receiving a 1:40 p.m. call Wednesday.
- Paramedics assessed him at the restaurant and took him to a nearby hospital for treatment and observation.
- His manager, Brad Kramer, said late Wednesday that Rhames had been checked out, was heading home, and sounded like his usual self.
- A representative said he likely overheated during the meal, a non-medical term often used for heat-related illness that can lead to fainting.
- TMZ first reported eyewitness accounts of him drifting in and out of consciousness, and the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed the call and transport.
