“Everything’s ok, guys. Thanks for the concern,” Troyer tweeted later.
“Verne had a seizure earlier right in front of me, but I have heard that he is resting back in his hotel. I’m so glad he’s okay!” a fan by name @oqtimusqrime wrote on Instagram. “I’m not sure exactly what happened, just know that he got really tired and started seizing and spitting up blood. So scary, my heart stopped!”
A representative for the actor said that he was taken to hospital “for precaution measures.” He was discharged after undergoing testing at the medical facility. “Everything came back normal,” the rep explained without giving any further details.
