“It may have been accidental,” Lt. Sergio Robleto said. “His daughter told police that it was an accidental overdose.”

After paramedics were called to Flynt’s Hollywood Hills home at 3:49 a.m., Flynt, 44, was admitted into the medical center, where he was in stable condition, hospital spokesman Ron Wise said. Police said that a medical report indicated he had a “recreational amount of narcotics” in his system.
