A 2025 Comic-Con attendee was taken away in an ambulance after suffering a medical emergency inside the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday.
An Entertainment Weekly reporter at the scene was informed by a convention staff member that “someone” suffered an emergency near the escalators at the convention entrance, but would not disclose any additional information about what occurred or their condition.
The individual was subsequently taken away on a stretcher and loaded into the ambulance, which left the scene just after noon PT. Video footage from the event taken by EW shows a growing crowd surrounding the convention center entrance, with the ambulance parked out front.
As a result, entrance to the convention center was briefly paused on Saturday in order to allow emergency services to pull up to the front of the building and aid the individual. Attendees were allowed to enter the convention shortly after the ambulance departed.
The incident comes just one day after a confusing fire alarm announcement rang out near Hall H and Ballroom 20, despite no alarm actually being heard. Security notified attendees during a Dexter: Resurrection panel to “remain calm” and await further instructions.
“I’m not calm,” moderator Jamie Chung said, to which star Michael C. Hall replied, “Thank God Dexter’s with us.”
Outside of general confusion from the crowd — and a brief delay from one Hall H panel to the next — the fire alarm did not cause any major disruption on Friday.
