The situation of Taylor Chasean actor known for his role in “Ned’s School Survival Manual”, has taken a turn in recent hours. The 36-year-old performer was admitted to a hospital from southern California to undergo … to a 72-hour psychiatric evaluationafter family members, former co-stars and loved ones coordinated an emergency response due to his delicate health.
The decision was made after several failed attempts to help and after the former actor was seen again living on the street in the middle of Christmas. It was then that a group of people around him managed to contact a crisis center who agreed to evaluate him immediately and determined he needed urgent medical attention.
As those involved in the intervention explained, admission occurred after a long process of persuasion and support. For days, friends and family tried to convince Chase to accept professional help, in a context marked by mental health problems and years-long drug addiction.
One of the episodes that accelerated the intervention took place on the morning of December 25, when it was confirmed that the actor had abandoned and ransacked hotel room that a former colleague from the series had paid him so that he would not spend the holidays on the street. The condition of the room – with devices out of place and obvious signs of lack of control – was interpreted by those around him as an unequivocal sign that the situation had surpassed any attempt at specific help.

Concern had intensified in the preceding hours, when Chase had been seen wandering in the rain and accepting supplies from strangers. The images, broadcast by the American media, provoked a wave of messages of support and relaunched the debate on the lack of effective resources to treat serious mental health cases.
The intervention was possible thanks to the collaboration between close friends, former colleagues and his family, who had been looking for a stable solution for years. As they recognized it in their environment, the process was not easy and there were moments of resistance, fear and distrust on the part of the actor before accepting the transfer to the hospital.
Everyone thought Tylor Chase would have a safe Christmas. Cookie had taken him off the street and left him sheltered in a hotel room to protect him from the rain. It seemed that, at least for one night, everything would be okay.
But it wasn’t like that.
