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."

    Why do famous people try to ruin their lives?
    Bunch of loosers…

    Depression can hit anyone, rich/poor, famous/unknown. This does not mean "He is a mess", or "is f***ed up". In fact, these comments are the least helpful, because it causes those who suffer to mask their true feelings and the need for help. Many people suffer from depression and face thoughts of suicide… many who people may not even realize are suffering. Get well Owen, I am sending you love and blessings not matter what you do.

    I'll keep him in my prayers, I don't think it matters how much money or how popular you are sadness, emptiness and depression reach us all the same. some of you guys needs to grow up. who cares who he is it's obvious his soul is in trouble and need help. I hope you get the help you need owen.

    i hope this gets to owen and not the assholes below. you are talented, beautiful and just caught up in being caught up. get back to where you began (bottle rocket) and ignore if you can the scrutiny. i'm a believer in owen wilson and for years ive called my boyfriend(s) "owen" in a jokingly way and not because you are hot (you are) but shanghai noon made me laugh so hard i snorted through the whole movie with my best friend. get well, get strong, be stronger than this world. it can suck when you least expect it. much love to your emotional and physical healing. like i said and as pete doherty said "fuck forever". now is forever. you are a contribution to the high levels of arts in this world so don't give in to the fucks.

    WOW. I know this might seem a little irrelevant, but last week, during my Film class, we were asked to list our favorite/least favorite movies, actors, genres, etc. When asked who my least favorite actor, I said Owen Wilson. I feel bad now =/ And, before getting online today and reading this, I started to watch The Haunting, which has Owen in it. WEIRD. I totally hope he recovers though =/ My friend attempted suicide, it is NOT the right answer/path to problems.

    This is the first time I have ever visited this website, and I have to say that I'm not proud that I did! I'm just a small time fan of his and many others, and I wish the best for everyone. After just a little bit of research about checking on Owen Wilson's health, I noticed that most other reporting has been confidential for him; I'm disappointed that this would be brought out by this website, as this may possibly be an extremely sensitive time for him, from what your website is reporting. I also noticed that your website stated, "our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family" for Hulk Hogan's child injured, but you didn't write that for Mr. Wilson. Why is that? I want to say that MY thoughts and prayers are, and will be, for both gentlemen.

    623

    I love your site Perez and enjoy it when you chronicle the traffic violations, relationship crises and drug abuse sagas of celebs. However, I draw the line when you publicize anyone's suicide attempt. It is irresponsible and in really bad taste. In the case of Mr. Wilson, he may be a celebrity but putting an obviously distraught man under the glare of the media spotlight at such a precarious time in his life, is irresponsible. I hope that your scrutiny does not drive Mr. Wilson to another attempt on his life. If so, I hope then that you are able to wash the blood off your hands Perez.

    624

    Owen, if you or a friend ever shares this JUNK with you, I'd like you to know this is the very first time I ever "blogged" and don't intend to do it again. What a waste of time. Just concerned about you. But after reading the other "blogs" I realized how sad it is that no one can hardly spell anymore. What's the deal with that? Don't listen to uneducated society. Do what you have to do to take care of yourself; regardless of what other people think. You have talent! They aren't looking at you as a real human being with thoughts and feelings! I'm sorry for that. It's embarrassing to me that people comment and judge others when they can't even spell or use appropriate grammar to describe what they are thinking.

    I'd be hesitant to believe anything that these two tabloids say. I am suprised you would post this as a valid story. Although to correct an earlier comment, NE nor Star write stories about Batboy or Aliens, that tabloid is now defunct. These other two are mostly all celebrity lies.

  68. Dorothy says – reply to this


    668

    I thinks that he's LoveSick. Kate left her husband for him but he wouldn't get serious and commit. He couldn”t change his playboy ways and she moved on. When she didn't have anyone in her life he was having a good time in Europe with different women. Now that she's moved on and gotten into a serious relationship he decides that he don't want to live. Maybe he meant to kill himself or maybe he wanted her to come running to nurse him back to him. Being LoveSick can immobilize you, make you stop eating or caring for yourself. Sometimes you are so griefstrinken for your lose that you can't or won't move on. I hope he get well and he'll see that his heavy heart will get lighter with each passing day. The most sane person can go crazy for love.

    Its shocking and I'm so sorry to hear this. My best friend growing committed suicide. she was also very funny and popular.I didn't have a clue that so would do anything like that, we were very close.
    I really hope Owen gets some help and has people around him who love him to help him over this. He seems like an incredible person, so talented so funny and makes so many people happy. He is by far one of my favorites actors and i'm so glad he was not successful at suicide.
    all i can say is, "Owen, please don't do it" we maybe only know you as the incredible man on the screen, but i'm sure you are a great guy. i hope you find what it is you need and what you are looking for in life. your worth so much more. I know the spot light can make you get crazy, but get yourself with people who really know you and love you. whatever it is, you can work thru this and come out on the otherside, happy and this will all have been just a bad time in your life. please, don't do anything to hurt you. best of luck and love to you. www.myspace.com/debtheone God bless you

    With the likes of the Spears and Lohan family who just stand by and watch disaster unfold with their children,I just hope that Owen Wilsons family WILL NOT STAND BY AND WATCH HIM SELF DESTRUCT I hope that they will support and love him and get him the help he needs which he really needs right now. And I hope that people wont judge him - Owen needs people to listen to him and how he is feeling right now not people gossiping about why he has done such an awful and out of character act. People need to know Owen Wilson before they judge him. To us he seems like he has the world at his feet but to Owen who knows what he is thinking.
    My thoughts are with his family at this diffacult time.

    i lost an uncle to suicide, he attemted it once 2 weeks be4 he succeded, i was the one to walk in on him wit the gun to his head, I was 12 yrs old & from that incident i have P.D.S.D. (post dramatic stress.) not to mention severe anxiety. after it happened, my father blamed himself alot for "not bein there for him" along wit a few other family members. so from the ages of 12- about 17 i had to deal wit a father who was severly depressed who wasnt ever there for my softball games, family get togethers, or school functions. he finally sought professional help and is doing a lot better. but my family will forever remain changed. it was like torn apart after that… i miss my uncle very much.. i wish he knew how much we all cared bout him and how big of an impact he had on our family. he also left behind a 3yo lil girl and 2 11yo and a 15yo boyz… luckily my youngest cousin was not really effected by it (altho she does remember her daddy) but my 2 male cousins who are now 20 and 24 were severly effected by it. they refused counseling and eventually became drug addicts.. the oldest is a carrer crimainal who has spent double the time in jail since hes been 18 than out. SUICIDE IS NEVER THE ANSWER i always try to think of it as, if u think ur life is terrible, theres ALWAYS somebody out there who has it worse. imagine bein born into a third world country or bein born to a father who continually raped u for years, and nobody believed you.

The people that are left to pick up the pieces after a suicide go through HELL! Some are never the same after…..and the person you cared about is gone forever! SUICIDE IS SELFISH!

    OMG!! I found this out this morning and is truly truly very sad! About 3 years ago a close friend of mine committed suicide. No one ever saw it comming! I was only a freshman in highschool. She wrote a note and said that no one ever cared about her. It was completly false, everyone was devistated! It was the worst thing I have ever been through.
    I really feel for Owen and his family. This is very very hard to deal with knowing that someone you love very deeply does not feel that way about themselves. Its terrible. I really really feel for him and hope he gets better! Hopefully he will see how many people really care for him and love him. I really hope he gets better.

    And please ppl dont leave rude comments this is a serious situation. Just wish him good luck and if you have nothing nice to say dont say it at all.

    thankyou, and good luck/get better soon owen!!!

    I'm with Rachelprinz- I've always loved Owen since the firsts time I saw him, he is the gem of every movie he is in and the only one actor that brings out the best in Ben Stiller and even Will Farrel. Let's hope he gets better - jeez you would think he had the world in his hands, so carefree and funny- I guess everyone can fool the public if they try - must be a BIG cry for help- something he could not manage and was afraid to ask for help. Not like a Britney Spears, I have heard Own is very nice to work with and respects those around him.
