Report Confirms Owen Wilson Attempted Suicide

Breaking NewsA "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."

92. i LOVE the Butterscotch Stallion. I hope he gets the help that he needs. What I HATE though reading that 911 report is that dumbass people call 911 because of parking problems or "found property." 911 is for REAL emergencies people!

93. I see many kind and generous comments here, and I think that shows that Owen Wilson's work is appreciated by a lot of people, myself among them. I, too, want to see the guy get better, and I wish him the best.

As for the trolls ... ignore 'em.

95. The guy is talented, major money movie maker for himslef and the studios , liked and is not a media a hog. He had everything to live for. Having a quarrel with a friend does not lead to suicide.
This is serious and he needs metal help for a longtime. I wish this on nobody.


NOW , to all of you soft misled hearted people who keep asking for his privacy, ummm. He is famous. This is in the news. It will be reported. It will be investigated by the media . the media WILL NOT SEEK HIM OUT. People WILL NOT SEEK him out. HE WILL HAVE privacy...that is if he wants it. He is signed up for amovie to start soon. He needs to quit the busy and get long term care for his deep rooted problems that drove him tothis whether it be drugs, chem imbalance . Suicide is not noraml..It is normal . It is over when a person gets this deep and down within themselves tha theu opt to kill themselves .they see no tomorrow for for a way out or solution to their depression or problems.

97. Disturbing that people would poke fun at a suicide attempt. People with lots of money can have serious problems the same as anyone else. Have you ever known anyone who has committed suicide, or attempted? Have you any idea the amount of effort it takes to cover up how miserable you are, especially when there are people such as yourselves, who think that because the man has "a closet full of money" or a sucessful career should be insurance over depression? It's damn draining to pretend to the outside world that you are carefree when you are dying inside.

Mental illness and depression and addiction don't know and don't care how much you have in the bank, whether you are blue-collar or white. You have no idea how lonely this man may be, how well he feels when he gets up in the a.m., what substances he might be addicted to, whom he loves and misses, or whatever. If you want to feel no sympathy, that's your business, but I suggest you don't post ignorant remarks here, or worse, go to visit anyone in the hospital who has tried to commit suicide who might have a higher paycheck than you. I'm quite certain your comments will not be helpful.

In the meantime, I hope there will be few if any stories on this man, and no pictures of him going out to get coffee or anyone sticking a microphone in his face asking why he did it. As he asked, let him heal in peace, away from some of the idiociy that's been displayed here.

99. To #87 - Ike Warren

So true! Thank you for saying what needed to be said...the overwhelming majority of us agree. I only hope that the media, paps, and TMZ, respect his privacy. It's the very least they can do.

100. He had a quarrel with an unidentified friend who said some Vicious, Vicious things." The friend may have even said "you can't act". How hurtful can one be! Owen can act as well as other non-actors like: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Andrew Shue (melrose), Burt Ward (robin - batman tv show), and many others. So next time when someone tells you "you can't act" just said "so can't alot of other people" or kill yourself, one of the two.

101. How soon until he finds that oh-so-elusive Jesus?

102. His nose reminds me of a movie, "Nothing but Trouble", I saw recently. It was Dan Aykroyd character Judge Alvin 'J.P' Valkenheiser. "Dat's my boy!"

103. Hope he gets the help he so desperately needs. GWS, Owen.

104. From me and all my friends in Toronto, get well soon. We love your films and the originality with which you make us laugh.

When the dark clouds clear, and they will, you'll find another, better love just around the corner.

And remember, your answer from now on should be "Kate who?"

105. Get your act together Owen and never,never do that again!
