The incident was classified as a suspected overdose in the documents, according to the report.

The Colts, who last week revealed Irsay was dealing with a «severe respiratory illness,» declined to offer any specific response but issued a statement Wednesday saying, «Mr. Irsay continues to recover from his respiratory illness.
