William Petersen hospitalized due to exhaustion on 'CSI: Vegas' set

Aug. 23 (UPI) -- William Petersen was hospitalized due to exhaustion while he was working on the set of CBS sequel series, CSI: Vegas.

Entertainment Tonight confirmed that Petersen was hospitalized on Friday with production on the series coming to a halt.

"He is exhausted from long hours on set for the past 12 weeks and was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure," the actor's publicist said to People magazine in a statement.

TMZ reports that Petersen was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital in Los Angeles. He has since left the hospital and is in good condition.

CSI: Vegas was announced in March and acts as a sequel series to the original CSI, which ran from 2000 to 2015.

Petersen will be back reprising his role as Gil Grissom, with Jorja Fox back as Sara Sidle and Wallace Langham as David Hodges.
