Terrell Owens attempted suicide

[kskonn]

I was listening to ESPN on Sirius this morning and they had some reporters who covered the cowboys and they were saying they talked to the Un-named lady and she did not give the same story that is in the police report. They also said that due to his condition when arriving at the hospital that their could have been communication problems when they were asking him questions.

they also reported on espn radio that the doctors said they did not pump his stomach or induce vomiting at the hospital. This strongly contradicts that he took 35 pain pills as originally reported.

I do not have a link, just what I heard.

You know what though, the more I think about it the less sorry I feel for him. This jackass gets paid millions of dollars to play a game that 75% of men throughout America would punch their mothers in the face in order to play. He has looks, talent, intelligence (though could be argued) and enough money to pay for his family to live extremely comfortable for the next five or so generations. Then he goes and tries to off himself. He's always been called the most selfish player in the NFL and this just goes to show that he's also selfish in regards to his family and friends as well.

Stomach pumping and inducing vomit doesn't work if it's been a certain length of time since ingesting the pills.

You're right though, this whole thing could very well be a misunderstanding.

[kskonn]

appereantly the cowboys have also scheduled a press conference this afternoon to clear things up.

[ducks]

Yeah, the latest stories say he was released this morning (initial stories said he was released last night). I'm guessing he could have been released into a private doctors care or re-admitted anonymously or whatever.

he is special he is an athlete
people would be in his room if they knew he is was in the hospital

[Kori Ellis]

It could all be a misunderstanding but the AP keeps saying they got the info for their story from the police report. I don't think the police report is wrong (I guess it could be).

The police and the Cowboys (independently) are supposed to be making some announcement later today.

yea they made the same point on the radio. I think they were just pointing out the misrepresentation of some of the points with the story.

they said the lady who was with him and called the paramedics said that he took two pills and had an allergic reaction, at which point she made the call. she said he never witnessed him downing the bottle. Their is also a story floating that he got the pills confused with supplements. it sounds like things will not be clear until the press conferences this afternoon.

their was a reporter saying that the doctor said that the TO was very disoriented when he spoke to the police and that the report may misrepresent or spin what actually happened. It should be interesting to see what is said in the press conference.

what I want to know is why was there even a police report? do they always do one when you are taken to the hospital by an ambulance?

Also if the report did not need to be explained why are they having a press conference?

[Kori Ellis]

If that smoking gun report is really the police report, it says the police said the bottle was empty, that he said he had only taken five pills prior to yesterday and that they asked him he took the rest of the bottle, he answered yes. They asked him if he was trying to harm himself and he answered yes. If that's the actually police report, then it's a pretty clear suicide attempt. If it's not the police report, then that's pretty f'd up to circulate it.

I think they always take one when there is a suicide attempt.

Then again, TO has pissed off enough people throughout America, maybe it's a little sweet revenge.

That is correct.

[kskonn]

Does anyone know if they decide it is a suicide by the 911 call or by what the hospital said? or both?

Dude..that's ed up. Suicide is never a joke and neither is depression.

[johnsmith]

Does anyone know if they attempt is based on the 911 call or the hospital report?

What do you mean?

[MosesGuthrie]

Dallas Police are on ESPN now.

[ducks]

Press conference on the ticket now!

[johnsmith]

Dude..that's ed up. Suicide is never a joke and neither is depression.

Oh quit.

[MosesGuthrie]

You first.

[johnsmith]

Dallas Police are on ESPN now.

Someone fill me in.

[johnsmith]

You first.

I choose to joke.

[MosesGuthrie]

They are not giving a lot of details...mostly "talk to Mr. Owens" or "Im not answering questions"

And now its over.

[kskonn]

What do you mean?

sorry, I did an edit to fix the statement. I was trying to find out if the police are called because the initial 911 call was for an attempted suicide or because of what the hospital report reads. Or can it be for either?

[MosesGuthrie]

I choose to joke.

and I choose to respond.

[tlongII]

I hope he's okay and gets some treatment for his depression.
