Chris Morgan, aka The Angry Bagel Guy, is currently in a New York hospital after suffering an apparent stroke ... TMZ has learned.
Morgan's manager, Bill Shannon, tells us Chris was outside a Long Island deli Monday when the medical emergency happened. Shannon says he's with Chris in the hospital now, and it appears he's lost feeling on the left side of his body. A video posted on his Twitter account showed Chris laid up in his hospital bed.
There does seem to be at least one positive sign -- Bill tells us Chris was able to raise his right arm to respond when Bill entered his hospital room. Bill says Chris has diabetes, but it's unclear if that's related to the apparent stroke.
We're told Chris' family members are on their way to the hospital.
Morgan gained internet fame back in July when he was caught on video in an angry confrontation inside a NYC bakery.
Since the incident, Morgan's had quite a ride ... including signing up for and then bailing on a celebrity boxing gig.

Nothing ruins a romantic vacation quite like diarrhea ...
Just ask golf superstar Rickie Fowler who says he came down with a terrible case of food poisoning while honeymooning with his smokin' hot wife, Allison Stokke.
Fowler and Stokke got married on Oct. 5 down in Mexico ... and to celebrate the nuptials, the two hopped on Puma's private jet and took a sick vacay to some remote beaches.
But, at some point near the end of the trip, Fowler caught Campylobacter jejuni -- a nasty strain of food poisoning -- and told Golfweek he was pretty miserable.
"It was not a fun stretch," Fowler said.
In case you didn't know ... the Center for Disease Control's description of Campylobacter jejuni is awful -- symptoms include "diarrhea (often bloody), fever, and abdominal cramps."
Yeah, not good.
Rickie says he's taking meds to get better ... but the 30-year-old was forced to pull out of this weekend's Mayakoba Golf Classic while he rests up.
It's a bummer for Fowler ... but hey, a lifetime of Stokke should be more than enough to make up for it!!!

They went on, "There have been a number of instances this season in which Dion has engaged in conduct detrimental to the team. Accordingly, he will be suspended without pay for 10 games, including the Lakers game last Friday, and will be eligible to return" Nov. 29.
The Heat continued ... "We are proud of how our players have started the season. We expect all of our players, including Dion, to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards, and to show professionalism and respect for their teammates, the team, the fans and the NBA community." The Heat lost Friday's game, BTW ... they're 6-3 now.
UPDATE: Dion Waiters is the Heat player who had medical emergency on team plane, I’ve confirmed.

Waiters overdosed on “gummies,” sources say, and was passed out when plane landed.
He had a seizure when he was finally woken up, I’m told.
Waiters was listed out tonight (illness)
In case you hadn't heard, Dion had a medical emergency while flying from Phoenix to L.A. on Thursday with the rest of his teammates. He was found unconscious when the plane landed, and when he was finally woken up ... he reportedly had a seizure.
According to ESPN, Waiters had consumed edible gummies that were infused with THC.
Adding insult to injury, he had already been suspended for several games prior to this latest disciplinary action. According to reports, he got into it with head coach Erik Spoelstra.
If Waiters misses/is held out of nine more games, no $1.2M bonus for 70 appearances. https://t.co/DQLUNfLchq
— Ira Winderman (@IraHeatBeat) October 25, 2019 @IraHeatBeat
This latest suspension could hurt Waiters more than he might realize ... affecting his bottom line. He's reportedly gonna miss out on a $1.2 million bonus written into his contract if he missed 9 more games than he already had. He signed a $52M contract extension in 2017.
We're not math experts ... but 9 + 1 = .... 10? Ouch.

Dr. Oz says he wants to help Sterling Shepard figure out what's wrong with his brain ... but he's warning the New York Giants star retirement might be his recommendation.
Sterling has been held out of Big Blue's last four games because of complications with a concussion ... and his head coach, Pat Shurmur, just called it a "serious injury" this week.
When we got Dr. Oz out in NYC on Thursday ... he offered to lend the receiver a hand -- saying he wants to conduct some tests on the 26-year-old to see if he's legitimately okay.
"If Sterling Shepard's brain is still functioning as a young man's should, then I'm fine with it," Dr. Oz says. "If it's not, he should be reconsidering returning to the gridiron."
Dr. Oz says he has a battery of tests he's personally used to make sure his own brain was okay after his football career at Harvard ... and he tells us he'd love to use the same exercises on Shepard as well.
As for some prescriptions he'd currently recommend to Sterling? Dr. Oz says the receiver needs to chow down on fish, walnuts and avocados to keep his brain strong.
Shepard, meanwhile, was sent to Pittsburgh this week to get further testing done on his head ... and it seems the Giants are considering placing him on season-ending injured reserve.

Miley Cyrus Gets Vocal Cord Surgery ... Post-Tonsillitis
Miley Cyrus had more issues with her throat than just her inflamed tonsils -- her vocal cords were also jacked up, requiring her to go under the knife ... TMZ has confirmed
Sources close to Miley tell TMZ ... Miley was recently hospitalized and underwent vocal cord surgery for an unspecified issue she was experiencing -- something she supposedly had been dealing with for years without realizing it. She's out of the hospital now, and on the mend.
Now, as she heals, Miley will apparently have to put a sock in it, per doctors' orders. Her recovery process will include several weeks of silence. Mind you, Miley had already noted she was on "vocal rest" following her tonsillitis procedure from last month.
Now, it looks like we won't be hearing her voice for a little while as she gets back to 100%. Our sources say Miley is expected to get back to singing early next year.
The most recent hospital visit comes just weeks after she had surgery for another throat-related problem ... tonsillitis. Based on Cody's IG story post -- which he labeled with "success" -- it would appear the vocal cord procedure went well ... and these 2 are still going strong.
Remember, she also had Cody to lean on when she got back from the hospital the first time ... and it doesn't seem much has changed in that department.
The big question now ... how is Miley gonna sound when she gets back on the mic???

Ex-'RHOC' Star Lauri Peterson MY SON'S JAIL ATTACK WAS PREMEDITATED Guards Want Him Dead!!!

NOVEMBER 2019
1:31 PM PT -- 11/4 -- The former 'RHOC' cast member tells TMZ ... Josh has been telling her his life is in danger since he got locked up in 2016. She says guards have threatened to kill him and he's suffered multiple attacks ... 3 at the hands of inmates and at least one by a guard!
Lauri believes the latest -- which was captured on security video at the Orange County jail in Santa Ana -- shows the attacks are premeditated and likely being facilitated by the jail.
Just like Waring's attorney, Joel Garson, told us ... Lauri claims the protective custody unit her son is in only allows one inmate out at a time, and it's up to the guards to enforce that rule to keep everyone safe.
According to Peterson, the guards failed to do so ... and she thinks it was an intentional move to give the attacker a chance to kill Josh.
The troubled son of former 'RHOC' star Lauri Peterson is recovering after getting slashed in his face during an insane jailhouse ambush ... and TMZ has video of the whole incident.
The brutal attack went down at the Orange County jail in Santa Ana when Josh Waring was on his way back to his cell. He never got there because another inmate jumped out wielding razors wrapped in towels.
This surveillance video of the October 9 showdown shows the attacker sneak into position -- hiding under a staircase -- and then Josh, in pajamas and sandals, is suddenly fighting for his life. Fists start flying and Josh defends himself well for a while -- getting in a few head shots -- but he eventually suffered deep gashes to his chest and face.
The brawl -- which moved off-camera, but was still visible in a mirror -- lasted nearly 90 seconds and only stopped when guards rushed in ... commanding both men to get down on the ground.
Josh's attorney, Joel Garson, tells TMZ ... his client was returning to his cell in the protective custody unit of the jail after making a phone call. He says the normal protocol is for all other inmates to be locked in their cells while another inmate is using the phone.
Garson says guards are supposed to confirm over the intercom that the other inmates are locked away. There's no audio on the surveillance video, so Josh's attorney says he can't tell if that protocol was followed -- but he says he wouldn't be surprised if the attacker was allowed to be out of his cell.
Garson is claiming it could be retaliation against Josh for filing a federal lawsuit against Orange County and its Sheriff's Department for violating his civil rights while he's been behind bars.
NOVEMBER 2019
Another video shows Josh receiving medical treatment after the attack. He's surrounded by deputies as he describes his injuries. He was concerned the razors used against him weren't sterile, and he could've contracted an STD.
We're told he got 20 stitches to his chest and face, which was slashed from his left eye down to his chin.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department tells us it's opened a criminal investigation into the attack.
Josh has been locked up since 2016 while he awaits trial for attempted murder. He's accused of shooting a man at a sober living home where he was living.
He could get life in prison if convicted.
Garson tells us, based on this video, they are considering adding new claims to the federal lawsuit they've already filed against Orange County.

Tyler Cameron Runs a Marathon ... Cramps Up Midway

We ran into Tyler after the race, and he gave us the scoop on what exactly happened out there.
Watch ... Tyler chalks up his cramping to training -- or a lack thereof. Fortunately, he's got a solution for the next marathon he runs, where he says he'll be better prepared.
Tyler Cameron is living proof that no matter how in shape you might be ... a marathon can still kick your ass.
Gigi Hadid and Hannah Brown's ex-lover was among 50,000 people or so to run the New York City Marathon Sunday -- and probably among half who cramped up along the way. TMZ got this video of the model limping his way to one of the barricades in clear pain.
We're told this was shot about midway through the 26.2-mile trek throughout the city. Looks like Tyler's leg might've given out on him ... it happens, marathons are brutal.
Now here's the kicker ... Tyler ended up finishing the race, and in pretty good time too!!! We searched him on the official New York Road Runners' tracking system, and it looks like TC topped out at 4 hours, 39 minutes and 54 seconds -- an average of 10:40 minutes a mile.
Tyler was on a good 9-11 minute/mile pace until about mile 19, when he clocked in 13:39 -- and then dipping again at mile 22 at about 15:40. He picked it up at the end though, finishing mile 26 with an average speed of 11:08. Cramps be damned, he toughed it out.
Oddly enough, the guy hasn't posted a celebratory photo or vid of himself getting across the finish line ... even though he put up a before-photo. Modest much???

Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose appeared to be knockin' at heaven's door when he seemed to collapse onstage during a concert, but turns out it was just a nasty fall.
Axl was performing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Vegas Friday night and as he sang the band's iconic hit, he ate it. You see Axl disappear as he tumbles to the ground.
The 57-year-old rocker got right back up and continued, however, he went off to the side of the stage, got a towel and wiped down the area of the stage where he seemed to lose his balance. It seems there was some sort of liquid that triggered the fall.
The group has been performing in Vegas this year. They performed at the Hard Rock earlier in the summer. They're in the middle of their "Not in this Lifetime ... Tour."
Other original members of GNR -- Duff and Slash -- also performed to a packed house.

The rapper was onstage for a gig at 1 OAK in WeHo in the early morning hours of Friday when we're told he fainted ... and video shows a couple of guys cradling him by his legs and shoulders as he shakes.
The L.A. Country Fire Department tells TMZ ... it received a call about a person who had suffered a seizure at the club a little before 2 AM. They arrived minutes later, but never transported the patient to the hospital.
We're told the people who rushed to Dex's aid carried him backstage, but it's unclear if they had medical training. It's also unclear why he wasn't taken to a hospital. We've also reached out to the rapper's team ... no word back, so far.
Nearly a year ago, Famous Dex fans were worried about his health when he passed out in the middle of a livestream. We were told at the time he was working to kick drugs after the incident.
