Aaron fell down stairs while attempting to access his apartment and a GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for his spiralling medical bills.

The insider said: "He currently is in dire straits, and it is touch and go for survival, but family and friends are keeping an overall positive outlook."
They explained that Aaron is "going through many tests, getting the best care one can get, but it is scary because the outlook isn't the best right now," adding that the entertainer "is still a long way away from recovery."

Aaron's 'The Blind Side' co-star Bullock is aware of his health issues.
Bullock, who won an Oscar playing Aaron's on-screen mom, is said to be "aware" and "monitoring" the situation.
The source told The Daily Mail: "Though they haven't stayed in touch (since the movie), Sandra is aware that he is in rough shape and she is monitoring the situation and obviously hoping for the best."
Aaron portrayed NFL star Michael Oher, who was a homeless black teen, drifting in and out of the school system, before Leigh Anne Tuohy, played by Bullock, adopted him.
The actor has battled ongoing issues with his weight, which saw him dramatically drop 200lbs last year, which "has been a lifelong situation and has been always something to monitor."

"But it is going to be a few days of being scared before any full results come through," the source said.
However, his recent health crisis was "very unexpected" according to his pal, Gina Watson.

The actor was 'laughing' and 'singing' just last month, claims pal who set up GoFundMe page.
Just last month Aaron was "laughing" and "singing" claims Watson, the founder of Veterans Aid Network, who has set up a GoFundMe for the actor.
"It's devastating for us because, like I said, we've been friends and we were just all (together at) Christmas doing a fundraiser to sponsor a family in need," Watson said
"Quinton was laughing with us and singing and we were having a great time and then all of a sudden, not even a month later, to find out he's on life support... Yes, very unexpected."
