"He's been admitted to the hospital. His relatives are aware of the circumstance and wishes him well. It's too early to tell about a recovery situation because he's being monitored," Lago told Fox News.

Tom Sizemore is 61 and has acted in films including Saving Private Ryan, Heat, and Black Hawk Down. Tom Sizemore also has a history of drug abuse and run-ins with law enforcement.

Sizemore was sued in 2018 by a 26-year-old actor who claimed he mistreated her as an 11-year-old while working on the film Born Killers. Sizemore denied the claims and the lawsuit was eventually dropped.

Sizemore has had numerous run-ins with police departments and has struggled with drug addiction for almost as long as his career. 'Shooting Sizemore,' a 2007 docuseries, followed his attempts to reclaim his career and life after being convicted of attacking his old girlfriend and attempting to enter rehab for crystal meth and heroin use.

A representative for Tom Sizemore said on Sunday that the actor is in critical condition.

Can you survive a brain aneurysm?

Survival rates for brain aneurysms vary depending on the location, size, and shape of the aneurysm, as well as the overall health of the patient.

If an aneurysm ruptures, it can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. The mortality rate for a ruptured brain aneurysm is estimated to be around 50 percent, with about 15 percent of those who survive the initial rupture dying from complications within the first few months.

However, not all brain aneurysms rupture and many people can live with an unruptured aneurysm for their entire lives without any symptoms or problems. In these cases, the aneurysm may be discovered incidentally during an imaging study done for another reason.

If the aneurysm is detected early, it may be possible to treat it with surgery or other interventions to prevent it from rupturing.

It's important to remember that every case is unique, and survival rates can vary depending on a wide range of factors. If you have concerns about a brain aneurysm, it's important to discuss them with a medical professional who can provide you with personalized advice and treatment options.
