Tylor Chase, the former Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide actor, is back on the streets after being released early from a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold, despite plans to place him in a rehab facility.
Advocates Say Help Fell Through
Actor Shaun Weiss said authorities were supposed to transfer Chase, 36, to a detox program but instead released him without notifying those trying to help. Chase was later found again on the streets of Riverside, California.
Ongoing Crisis
A mental health crisis team reportedly determined Chase was a danger to himself but still left him outside. Weiss and local advocates say they are now seeking help through unions and county officials as Chase continues to struggle with homelessness and substance abuse.
Friends Still Trying to Help
Former co-stars, including Daniel Curtis Lee, have attempted to secure food, shelter and treatment for Chase in recent weeks. Despite brief hospital admission over Christmas, Chase was released and remains without stable care.
