However, the first dose of Narcan did not work, and later, the second dose was given, and West gained consciousness.
West was booked in the Fairfax Country Detention Center at 4:35 am with a bond set at $2000.
On the other side of the story about Delonte West being unresponsive, some of the online posts wrote that “Delonte West had passed away,” which is a total hoax.
Indeed, West is not getting on the right path in life after his successful NBA career, but the former player is still alive, wandering in the streets, living his life in his way, and being arrested by police quite often.
