Terrell Owens Attempts Suicide
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide by overdosing on pain medication Tuesday night, The Associated Press reports this morning, citing a police report.
According to the report, Owens even put two more pills into his mouth after fire rescue personnel arrived and also told rescue workers he was "depressed."
KTVT in Dallas reported that a woman named "Etheridge" -- most likely his publicist, Kim Etheridge -- called police at 7:51PM Tuesday night to report a suicide attempt. The station also reported that Owens took 35 pills.
Owens fractured a bone in his hand in a game on September 18 and had to have a plate screwed into his hand to help it heal properly.
The Cowboys have scheduled a news conference for this afternoon.
