Campbell took tranquilizers: report

LAS PALMAS, SPAIN, June 18: Supermodel Naomi Campbell reportedly had to have her stomach pumped to prevent her from lapsing into a coma after ingesting too many tranquilizers.

The Canary Islands newspaper La Provincia, citing a leaked police report, said Campbell had to be rushed to a hospital early Sunday morning after swallowing 20 tablets of the anti-depressant alprazolan.

Campbell had been drinking alcohol when she overdosed on the tranquilizer, said the newspaper8217;s account of the police investigation. A bottle of alprazolan was found on a table next to her hotel bed.

Although Campbell8217;s life was never in danger, the amount of tranquilizers ingested could have thrown her into a coma, the report said. The police report said that Campbell was sprawled across her bed when her personal secretary demanded the hotel call an ambulance. Spanish media reported that the 27-year-old model was admitted for a drug overdose at a Las Palmas hospital on Sunday morning following a heated argument with her boyfriend, the Flamenco dancer Joaquin Cortes.
