Charlie Sheen taken to hospital with 'severe abdominal pains'

Mr Rosenfield said Sheen had spent the morning "sleeping" in the emergency room.

The Two and a Half Men star was wheeled on a stretcher from his Los Angeles home and was closely followed by two young women, according to celebrity news website TMZ.com.

The actor's spokesman confirmed to London's Daily Mail that Sheen, 45, was in hospital for emergency medical care.

"All I can tell you is that he was taken to hospital having severe abdominal pains," Stan Rosenfield said.
"I don't know any more than that."

He would not confirm the time Sheen was admitted or whether he was still receiving treatment, the Daily Mail reported.


TMZ reported that Sheen's father Martin Sheen, his mother, Janet Templeton, and Sheen's ex-wife Denise Richards were all at the hospital with him.

An emergency call had been made at 6.35am on Thursday and the ambulance arrived about 7am, the site said.

Neighbours told TMZ that Sheen hosted a party at his house on Wednesday night.

Women were heard singing along to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the party lasted into the morning, the site reported.

The Platoon, Wall Street and Major League star has a history of substance abuse.

He completed a short stint in a rehabilitation facility in February last year.

On Christmas Day two months earlier Sheen was arrested and charged with a slew of domestic violence offences against his third wife, Brooke Mueller.

He spent another month in rehab in August last year. The stay was part of a deal with police that resulted in the domestic abuse charges being dropped, the New York Daily News reported.

In October last year police were called to The Plaza hotel in New York City, where they found Sheen naked and a woman locked in the bathroom.

The actor admitted taking cocaine and drinking alcohol on that occasion, according to the New York Daily News.

Less than a month later he filed for divorce from Mueller. They were married in 2008 and had twin sons.
Sheen also has two daughters with Denise Richards, who he married in 2002.

Richards, an actress, filed for divorce in March 2005 while she was pregnant with their second child, claiming Sheen drank and took drugs excessively and threatened her physically.

Sheen has had numerous relationships with porn actresses and was named in 1995 as a regular client of Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss.
