HVW.com has just learned that Odin Knyght was rushed to a medical facility Thursday afternoon, after passing out during a training session with his and Christan Spade's valet/manager Tina Walker. We are still working on getting full details, but we do know the following: Knyght was diagnosed with accidental Vicodin overdose, and was given immediate treatment to remove the chemicals from his system. As of this morning, he is still under observation but listed as stable, and could be released as early as Monday.

Knyght had been on the medication for a few months, due to a lingering injury to his right shoulder muscle. Rumors have been going around that he was abusing the drug, which he always denied. Doctors are holding him over the weekend to run a series of tests, to check for any damage to internal organs from such high dosages of the hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination, which in extreme cases, can lead to liver damage. We've been told that doctors are optimistic that there is no such damage, but just want to be certain.

Amy Chastaine was reached for comment, and stated: "I had heard rumors, and asked him myself if there was a problem. He told me there wasn't, and I let it go, given he did have a valid prescription. This will be looked into of course, but right now the main concern is Odin's health. Everything else can wait." When asked if this would affect his job status, she replied, "I'm not making any decisions until I speak with him, and have a better idea of what exactly happened."

Stay tuned to HVW.com for more on this story as we get it.

HVW.com wishes Knyght a quick and full recovery.
