Terrell Owens Tried to Kill Himself

A police report obtained Wednesday states that Dallas Cowboy's receiver, Terrell Owens, tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain killers:

The report said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes."'

The Dallas police report said the 32-year-old Owens told his friend "that he was depressed."

The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said. The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he'd taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied.

According to the police report, Dallas Fire and Rescue was called regarding someone "attempting suicide by prescription pain medication." Officers arrived to find Owens being stabilized by ambulance workers, who then took him to Baylor University Medical Center.

Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.

Wow, that is completely shocking.

Although I am no fan of Terrell Owens, this isn't the time to crap on him, this is the time to pray for Terrell and wish him a full recovery. You never know what's lurking in people's minds, I hope he sorts out his demons.
