Actor Owen Wilson Taken to the Hospital for Possible Suicide Attempt

Monday August 27, 2007
According to reports from the National Enquirer, Owen Wilson was taken to the hospital yesterday under suspicion of a possible suicide attempt. Police responded to a 911 call at noon that Owen had allegedly slashed his left wrist and taken a ton of pills. The actor was quickly brought to St. John’s hospital in Santa Monica by ambulance.

In hearing the news, I can't help but wonder if this could possibly have anything to do with the demise of his recent romance with Kate Hudson. I certainly hope not as she is currently wasting her time hooking up with Dax Shepard and I'm pretty sure that Owen can do better.

I was very surprised to hear of Owen Wilson’s possible suicide attempt. What a waste that would have been if he succeeded in killing himself! He is such a gifted and talented actor. I wonder however, if this suicide attempt had anything to do with Kate Hudson. They weren’t together long, however, in pictures and in news clips, Owen looked way more into Kate than she did to him. I hope he seeks the help he so desperately needs and gets better soon!

I doubt an adult with a career like Wilson’s would try to kill himself over a relationship. Suicide usually involves more complex issues than a breakup.

Not that I regularly believe anything the National Enquirer has to say, but should this story be true, I do hope he recovers quickly from his injuries and receives the help he needs to overcome the depression that would have brought this on. I agree, he is an amazing actor and it would be a sad day that the movie industry lost him. Get well soon, Owen.. my thoughts and prayers are with you.
