R&B singer R. Kelly was rushed to a hospital after reportedly suffering a near-fatal overdose while in solitary confinement at FCI Butner prison in North Carolina.
His legal team claims the incident was triggered by an excessive dose of prescribed anxiety and sleep medication, which led to him losing consciousness.
Doctors at Duke University Hospital also found blood clots in his lungs and legs.
Despite medical recommendations, Kelly was returned to solitary without receiving proper treatment.
His lawyer, Beau Brindley, believes there’s a conspiracy to harm him and is now seeking emergency home confinement.
Federal prosecutors have dismissed the allegations, calling them a tactic to gain early release. A court hearing on the matter is set for June 20.
