TMZ.com is reporting that Jeremy Shockey was found unconscious at around 2 PM while attending a pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.

Shockey was covered up by paramedics but was identified to the press by those who found him.

Shockey was removed from the party by stretcher and transported to a local hospital.

Shockey has been a known party animal since his days at the University of Miami and later in New York but he is not in the league's substance abuse program. Details of his condition are not known at this time or if they are substance related.

EDIT @ 8:37 EST Chris Mortensen is reporting that Shockey suffered from a "bout of dehydration" and has been released.
