The source said that staff and passersby would see Elijah passed out after smoking cigarettes that seemed laced. They added, "He looked strung-out and essy,  was a homeless person living on the streets." Things got so bad that Cher eventually hired a caretaker who waited at the hotel entrance to monitor him.

The troubled situation with Elijah eventually climaxed in mid-September when hotel staff found his lifeless body at the hotel entrance. It was the same day that the "Burlesque" actress had planned to hold an intervention for him. A few days later, police arrived to escort Elijah out of the hotel and take him for another rehab stay.
