As report by TMZ: Bam Margera 911 Call --- Possible Overdose: TMZ has learned star Bam Margera was rushed to the hospital yesterday after paramedics responded to a 911 call for a "possible overdose".We're told state troopers and medical personnel arrived to his home in West Chester, PA at around 1:30pm.
April Margera just called into WMMR radio in Philly to explain why a 911 call was made:
"Bam had been filming for the Mtv show "Nitro Circus" and had become "severly dehydrated." She said when Bam films stunts for Nitro, which is just like Jackass, he forgets to take care of himself and doesn't eat enough.
April also said "basic partying" played a factor and she heard Bam walked to the ambulance on his own power.
Recent Update: We just spoke to Bam Margera who said he was rushed to the hospital Sunday after a four day drinking binge -- not because of a possible drug overdose.
The "Jackass" star blames the "4-day bender" on marital problems, telling us "I may get a divorce ... booze helps."
TMZ also spoke to Bam's mother -- who told us Bam's wife Missy called 911 because she was worried about his health after learning that he popped an Ambien during the drinking bender.
Margera says his kidney and leg muscles were a mess from not eating or drinking enough water -- but the hospital flushed out his system and he was released to his home after speaking to a psychiatrist.
Now, Bam claims he's in good health and he even sent us this photo -- taken after he was released from the hospital -- to prove it.
