Owen Wilson hospitalized after suspected suicide

Actor Owen Wilson was transported by paramedics early Sunday afternoon to a California hospital after a possible suicide attempt, according to reports in Star magazine and the National Enquirer.

The Santa Monica Police Department issued a statement Sunday saying they made a joint response with fire department paramedics to a medical aid call at Wilson's Santa Monica address.

"A person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated," the release stated. "Due to HIPAA medical privacy laws, no further information is being released."

But Star magazine and the National Enquirer jointly reported last night that Wilson, the star of popular comedies including "Wedding Crashers" and "You, Me and Dupree" had slit his left wrist and taken unidentified pills in an attempt to kill himself.

Wilson was transported to Saint John's Health Center after being discovered by a family member who called 911, the publications reported.

Entertainment Tonight reported that the actor was transferred to Cedar-Sinai Hospital to receive detoxification treatment. Wilson's actor brother Luke was seen leaving the Beverly Hills' treatment center.

This is pretty weird. You just wouldn't expect something like this from someone like Owen Wilson. He's an awesome actor I think, but I guess you can't judge what a person is like because of what kind of characters they play. Anyway, I hope he recovers and fixes himself up properly.

Eh, I would wait on more reliable sources than the two given.

Nearly everywhere I looked, it says that hes just been hospitalized, with no word on whether or not it was a suicide attempt.

I think he's a pretty run of the mill actor but there you go, I don't think he'd commit suicide though.

It sounds like a suicide attempt to me from all the reports I've read, and no one seems to be denying it. Maybe Ben Stiller broke up with him.

That's what I thought at first. The National Enquirer can't be trusted about anything, but this still might be true.

The list is pretty much endless. I was trying to make a joke about Owen Wilson in my last post.

I've hurt bad enough to where I figured death would be better than to continue with the experiencing of so much pain. That is to say, I've contemplated suicide, and therefore see why people kill themselves. Seeing why and condoning it or supporting it are two different things though.

My last year English teacher mentioned that most comedians are all really depressed and or have problems. She said Jim Carrey was one of them.

They try to hide their problems by being funny and stuff.
