Charlie Sheen tried to stop 911 call

Charlie Sheen tried to stop his doctor from calling the emergency services.

Dr. Paul Nassif - the Beverly Hills-based physician who made the call to 911 last Thursday (27.01.11) following the 45-year-old star's alleged 36-hour alcohol and cocaine binge at his Los Angeles home - warned 911 operatives that Charlie was "very, very intoxicated" and "in a lot of pain".

In tapes of the call released by the Los Angeles Fire Department, Dr. Nassif said: "I just got a call from the residence of Charlie Sheen.

"They're saying don't call 911.They got him on the phone and he was very, very intoxicated and also apparently in a lot of pain."

Following the call, the troubled actor was immediately rushed to the nearby Cedars-Sinai Hospital with "severe abdominal pains", which his representative later claimed was due to a hernia.

However, porn star Kacey Jordan - who has since revealed she was paid $30,000 to party with Charlie - insists it was because he had overdosed on drugs.

She recently said: "The hernia story was just to protect the actual OD he had from cocaine use."

The star has now put together a team of professionals to help him overcome his troubles at home rather than entering rehab.
