Owen Wilson Suicide Attempt!!!!!

Filed under: Owen Wilson

mx0002579.jpg

This is just incredibly shocking.

Owen Wilson's emergency hospitalization on Sunday was the result of a suicide attempt, The National Enquirer and Star magazine are exclusively reporting.

Sources tell the mags that Wilson sliced his left wrists and took an indeterminate amount of pills.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Owen was discovered by a family member who summoned help.

Police and an ambulance responded to a 911 call from Wilson's house in Los Angeles around noon on Sunday.

Owen is said to be in stable condition at the moment.

This is hardcore.

Suicide is never a good option, kids.

DON'T do it!

Update:

National Enquirer editor-in-chief David Perel tells PerezHilton.com….

"Owen Wilson has now been transferred from St. John's to another Los Angeles area hospital. His brothers Andrew and Luke are with him.

"Andrew found him after the suicide attempt and called an ambulance. Both of Owen's wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills.

"Owen was found with a nearly empty bottle of pills next to him. He was at his house in Santa Monica."

    This is Crazy shit!!!

    i guess it just shows he is only human and being famous is not all it cracks up to be

  14. Jennifer says – reply to this


    314

    He may not be addicted to drugs. He may be depressed with access to prescription drugs. Depression is crippling and can really kick in when bad things, like a breakup, happen. He's a very likeable and talented guy. I hope he'll recover soon and find peacefulness again.

  15. coldevort says – reply to this


    315

    NOooo!! I always thought he was a pretty laid back guy. I really hope he gets better. What were the pills for? My stepsister whom I'm best friends with was prescribed effexor by her doctor and it only made her worse and nearly cost her her life. It caused her such mood swings that one day she started cutting herself for no apparent reason and tried to overdose on the drug to make it all stop… Luckily, her neighbor called the police after they heard her screaming and they were able to resusitate her. It was really scary because she really has no idea why she broke down so hard, all of a sudden her emotions just went haywire. I really hope this isn't the case but sometimes the wrong drug can have serious side effects.. Owen just doesn't seem the suicidal type but then again I've never met him.. I PRAY FOR YOU OWEN!!!!!!!!!

    Woah… he's on my bottom list of People who'll think about killing himself. He's right there with Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Duff! GOD! He's such a funny guy… I wish he gets over his depression and start making movies again because that's what he's REALLY good at.

    330

    Wow… there are some really callous individuals on here. My best wishes and thoughts go out to Owen and his family.

    Nobody, no matter how much money or how famous, is exempt from depression and acts of sheer desperation, whether drug-related or not. I hope that none of the people on here who have made awful, thoughtless comments ever have to experience it themselves.

  31. Alymig says – reply to this


    331

    I don't believe it. I kinda knew him and his brothers and Wes A. from Dallas. It's very inconsistent with his personality. They're just not abusers. Troubled people tend to flock together. Do you see him hanging out with Paris, or Lindsay, or Britney, or any other trainwrecks past or present? I live in LA, and you just know these things, like who's really gay, and who's really not.

  32. AL says – reply to this


    332

    This is so sad, I think he is an awesome actor & seems like a great guy. I hope he gets the help that he needs and knows that there are people out there who love and care for him. This is not the answer!!!

    i was in rehab with owen at hazelden in 2001… it was right after he did zoolander and
    he looked so so awful - emaciated and yellow from doing speedballs (heroin and cocaine).
    it was heartbreaking how shitty he looked… we all called him dicknose…. but not to his
    face. that would be mean.

  42. JimmyD says – reply to this


    342

    This is my first time posting here and I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of negative comments, but I'm disgusted by the amount of people saying he deserved to die due to him being a wealthy movie star. I grew up in a higher income earning family with a public figure father (in the tech world) and that didn't stop me from becoming depressed. People who leave comments like that are the ones who need things like money to be happy. Take a minute and look at it from the other perspective, I would have very much enjoyed having a normal life with normal friends. Instead, the only option for "friends" were leeches so I kept my distance from them and spent most of my time alone while others thought I was living a great life. Get over yourselves people, everyone has problems. If you're gonna make it worse, just stfu and keep it to yourself.

    I don't believe it!!!! maybe he had a bad reaction or maybe he's ill but I don't believe he would do such things due to depression alone. I met and talked to him on 3 separate occasions and he really seemed a genuinely great and stable guy. For all you A-HOLES that put him down, F YOU!! You have NO idea what happened or why he did what he did. You only assume because of your own ignorance and warped view of the world so just please STFU!

  53. deanda says – reply to this


    353

    I wonder what caused Owen to attempt suicide. Must be a serious issue, or a deep pain causing this situation. I always see him as the happy go lucky guy, partying with Playboy Mansion bunnies, dating, having a good time. I wonder what the reason is for this suicide attempt.

  54. JimmyD Questioner says – reply to this

    Here, I'll do it again so JimmyD's name shows up better.

    359

    I can't believe the nasty, angry & spiteful comments that some of have left. You "talk" the big talk; but my God, where is your compassion? I'm not saying you should be swooning and sending flowers; however, how can any human being wish death upon another human for any any any reason??? Think if someone you loved tried or even worse, succeeded in killing themself? Or, if for any reason, *you* were that depressed to commit suicide? Please, open your heart, and just think twice about your comments. That anger and nastiness is just awful and sad. AND, those of you who say "If he REALLY wanted to kill himself…" Listen, NO ONE sets out to slash their wrists and take enormous amounts of pills to *not* kill themself. As for "If he would've used a gun…" it's all about the human psyche. People who are actors/actresses/models/or just plain obsessed about their looks VERY RARELY shoot themselves because if even so they are so so so depressed, that's (a gun shot to the head/face) is not how they want to be remembered. There's more subconscious stuff that better explains it; but I'm not finding the words very well. Psychology 101. All of you, please take care.

    365

    Karma? I think so. That is what happens when you sleep with someone else's wife and break up a family. I have no sympathy for him. Yes people make mistakes, but when you make decisions like the ones he has made, what goes around comes around.

    Self aggradisement? Drop your asses in Afghanistan and see your family bombed to shit then maybe you have depression…Stop doing the drugs and being narsissitic crapola and maybe find some concience. That's to all celebs who people look up to..take it to the curb

  67. JimmyD says – reply to this


    367

    Hi Jell, to answer your question, it's not something that really goes away. For me, it's always been the loneliness and not having anyone I can trust around. Like owen, I've always been the popular comic around people, but like someone else pointed out here, the one who entertains others usually has no one to go to for help. I'm relatively young, 19, but I've had to grow up at a much quicker rate than the other people my age (around me). I can't speak for Owen, but I can say that the life that comes with having luxuries normally isn't a pleasant one unless you have good people around you. Perhaps he thinks he's never gonna find anyone he can be himself around and talk to. The majority of people facing this problem are the ones you'd least expect. Ask anyone about me and they'd say something that doesn't represent how I truely am. I wish Owen all the best and a speedy recovery.

    There goes the ignorant brain, always thinking money solves everything. Maybe it was something money couldn't fix. If this story was about K-Fed getting $ from Britney, people would talk shit and say "What does he need all that $ for?"… It keeps you alive, right??? That's what we're saying here, right??? You can't be rich and unhappy -oh no!

  72. For the love of criminy says – reply to this


    372

    As somebody else noted, Star and the Enquirer (which are owned by the same company) are in fact very good sources for this kind of thing, because they don't want to lose millions of dollars by printing allegations that can easily be proven false via actual hospital records. If he hasn't been taken in for an overdose and cuts to the wrist (or whatever they're reporting), his lawyers will fuck them. That won't happen, however, because their publisher is not retarded.

    The "Bat Boy" paper is the Weekly World News, which is more like the Mad Magazine of tabloids. Not the same animal at all.

    Aw, this makes me really sad. Owen is one of my favourite actors and to hear about him being like this is upsetting. I honestly hope you feel a whole tonne better soon Owen.
    P.S. To all you retards who are making jokes out of this shut the fuck up you pricks. Make fun of whatever lame publicity stunt Paris or Britney are pulling these days, but leave Owen alone.

  96. Joni says – reply to this


    396

    Scroll up..Maybe it was those pills he was taking? Then, he couldn't really control his actions. No one knows another person's pain. I've already read where the official line is "exhaustion." Why can't people just tell the truth? I'll tell you why. It's because people aren't allowed to be flawed in this world and we all are FLAWED. If he's going through some sort of pain why not let the guy admit it and get on with it. This non-stop judging and criticizing is not going to help this talented, sweet guy. I feel really sad about this. If this story is true, people should be trying to encourage him instead of tearing him down.

    Owen is an alcoholic/addict…and the more talented of the two bros. I feel bad for him because at the end of the day, an alkie needs to go to meetings. All the $$ & fame in the world can't fix that. Look at David Strickland, Chris Farley, John Belushi….et.al.
