Report Confirms Owen Wilson Attempted Suicide

Posted Aug 28th 2007 12:15PM by TMZ Staff

A "call to service" report from the Santa Monica Police Department, obtained by the television show "EXTRA," shows that the 911 call from Owen Wilson's home was made because the actor tried to commit suicide.

The call was received shortly after noon on Sunday and was "cleared" some five hours later. "EXTRA" is reporting that it was one of Owen's brothers who found him. Owen was rushed to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and later moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Owen Wilson released this brief statement to TMZ through his rep: "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

9. this makes me very sad. I hope that he gets whatever help he needs. Of all the stars in Hollywood, he would have been one of the last I would have expected this from.

10. This is so sad. It just goes to show you that you can have tons of money and lots of fans and it won't make you happy. We love you Owen, get better... we are all praying for you!

11. Very depressing news. It's hard to imagine that someone who's an accomplished actor and has things like family, friends, and money to afford a comfortable lifestyle would want to take his own life.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

13. So relieved that someone with everything is as miserable and tortured as everyone else.
Great job keeping up the happy slacker image for so long Owen.
