Owen Wilson Attempts Suicide

owen_wilson.jpgIt has been officially confirmed that the Owen Wilson suicide attempt was no rumor and that the troubled actor did in fact try to take his own life on Sunday. According to the Calls for Service report of Santa Monica County, California, a 911 call was made from Owen Wilson’s residence at 12:08 pm. The official categorization that the call was classified under was “attempted suicide.” According to multiple reports, Wilson was found by his brother in a “semi-conscious state” and was immediately transported to St. John’s hospital in Santa Monica, California. After receiving initial treatment for his condition, Wilson was transferred to the popular and seemingly celeb-friendly Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Beverly Hills

Sending a public statement to the press on Monday, the day after he was initially hospitalized, Owen Wilson said, “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time.”

In the past few days, there have been new developments in Owen Wilson’s attempted suicide scandal that support the claim that Wilson may suffer from an alleged major drug addiction problem. As of now, reports are saying that Owen Wilson cut both of his wrists and took a potentially lethal cocktail of prescription and possibly illegal drugs. According to gossip blogger Perez Hilton, Wilson may have taken a deadly combination of OxyContin and crystal meth. The Daily Mail reports that Owen Wilson is fighting a very serious addiction to heroin and cocaine.

Could the painful break up be the trigger for his attempted suicide? It certainly seems possible. Since the break up, it has been rumored that Owen Wilson has been battling a serious depression and the very recent publication of Kate Hudson with her new boyfriend Dax Shepherd may have been the thing that completely pushed Wilson to the very edge.

It has also been rumored that a very serious argument with a close friend may have been an additional factor which caused Wilson to attempt to kill himself. However, as of yet, these rumors have remained unaddressed by Owen Wilson, his brothers, and their representation.

Once again, the scandals of drug-addiction, depression, and fame have taken their toll on a talented and well-loved actor. We wish him luck in his recovery.
