Charlie Sheen allegedly told a former friend that he had his assistant ‘iced’ when he tried to extort millions of dollars from the actor.
Lenny Dykstra tells The Hollywood Reporter that in late 2013 he asked Sheen about the death of his former right-hand man Rick Calamaro, who the disgraced baseball star claims had been working on a tel-all about the actor.
‘He said, “You mean Dead Rick? What f***ing happened is the motherf***er tried to blackmail me just like you said – wanted $5 million. I had him f***ing iced,”‘ said Dykstra in the interview.
‘He said he had a hot dose put in there.’
A hot dose is a term that is used to describe a lethal additive that is unknowingly put into an intravenous drug user’s needle, though Calamaro’s autopsy declared his death was an accidental overdose.
The comment seems like it could also be Sheen making a dark joke.

Dykstra also claims in the interview that Sheen is featured in a gay sex tape while also alleging that the former Two-and-a-Half Men star told him that he contracted HIV from a transsexual tryst.
Sheen would not agree to be interviewed for the story, and the lawyer who Dykstra claims showed him the gay sex tape denies that claim.
‘This just never happened,’ said Keith Davidson, who has recently been in the news for allegedly getting porn star Stormy Daniels a sex-figure payout to keep quiet about her affair with President Trump.
Dykstra was also unable to offer any proof supporting his claims about the gay sex tape or Sheen’s statement about his assistant.
And Shane Bernard, Sheen’s current lawyer, said Dykstra was making ‘disturbing, vile and outright ridiculous claims.’
Dykstra began running into major problems in his life post-baseball starting in 2009 when he was forced to file for bankruptcy after becoming unable to pay the mortgage on the multimillion home he had purchased from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky just years earlier.
The home was sold a year later at a foreclosure auction.
Then, in April 2011, Dykstra was charged with bankruptcy fraud after it was determined he had been selling off property from his home and baseball memorabilia while hiding the profits.
He was arrested and bailed out of jail by Sheen, who put up the $22,000 to set his friend free.
A few months later in June he was charged with grand theft auto and drug possession after he was found with cocaine and ecstasy.
He ran afoul of the law that August as well when a woman claimed that he had exposed himself to her after she responded to an ad he placed on Craigslist looking for a housekeeper.
Dykstra pleaded no contest that October to three of the counts of grand theft auto and filing a false financial statement, and in March 2012 was sentenced to three years in prison.
He was released in July 2013 after serving a little over six months and put on probation.
Dykstra has kept a relatively low profile since his release , though he was accused by Sheen’s porn star ex-fiancee Brett Rossi of stealing $50,000 worth of jewelry in 2015 after she had asked him to help her sell some pieces.
In this new interview, Dykstra claims that he saved Rossi’s life after she allegedly swallowed a handful of pills.
