ALDEN - Alex Paul, the eldest living child of the late Kirk Paul was rushed to the hospital after authorities say he was found in his college dorm room, with foam in his mouth, and seizure like shaking. Tests later revealed that the 20 year old student had overdosed on his Roxwood Campus Dormitory. Roxwood College Police say that he is likely to have overdosed from weed provided at the party just hours prior to the overdose.

Paul, 20, was rushed to Alden Critical Care Medical Center, where he was stabilized. The Paul family has not issued any statement regarding the incident, and is asking for Alex's privacy during his medical care. Police also didn't release any further information about if foul play was involved.

"We are thankful that Alex is alive, and we are going to work through whatever comes next, and ask for our privacy as he recovers," said his mother AlexisPaul. "We will release information when it is the right time for our family. We will not be speaking to the press further at this time."

Alex Paul, who lost his father back in June in an assassination, had been battling with depression and suicidal thoughts as he navigated through that loss. Following the death of his father, he withdrew from his friends, family and teachers, and many noticed that he had become withdrawn prior to his overdose.

"He stopped hanging out with us, which was very off kilter for him," said a friend and fellow student. "He didn't seem as happy and we made every effort to work to get him to join us in bars, and meeting girls, but he didn't go."

Others say he seemed very withdrawn from everyday activities including his sports like soccer and football, missing games and practices. Police are looking at a potential suicide by narcotic intoxication attempt. Paul will be held until a psychological evaluation is conducted by psychologists.
