Actor, funny man, and general broken-nose superhero Owen Wilson was discovered by his brother, Luke, after he had apparently cut both of his wrists and taken an un-tallied number of pills*.

Wilson was rushed to St. Johns Hospital in Los Angeles after 12:10pm on August 26th, 2007.

Luke Wilson, Owen's brother, was seen leaving Beverly Hills' Cedars Sinai Hospital with his brother Andrew at 8:50 p.m. on Sunday, According to Entertainment Tonight. Andrew was the one who found Owen, according to published reports.
....
TMZ reports that the Santa Monica Police released the following statement, "On Sunday Aug. 26. 2007 at 12:10 pm officers from the Santa Monica Police Department responded to a medical assistance call from the Santa Monica Fire Department. The person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated."



Wilson was later transferred to Cedars Sinai, where he was reported to be in a stable condition.

Wilson was then transferred by ambulance to another LA hospital, the Cedars Sinai, around 9am (4pm Sunday, local time) where his condition was initially listed as "grim". He has since stabilised.
...
Owen's brother, Luke, was seen leaving the Cedars Sinai in a BMW with a blond friend several hours after Owen was transferred, Entertainment Tonight reported.

National Enquirer editor-in-chief David Perel told gossip website PerezHilton.com that Owen's brother Andrew "found him after the suicide attempt and called an ambulance".

"Both of Owen's wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills.

"Owen was found with a nearly empty bottle of pills next to him."


UPDATE: Owen just released this statement to TMZ:

"I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

Proof everybody needs to check their heads. Owen has a great film career, soaring popularity and the cherry on top is his skating skills. What have you got?
