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."

This is news because why?



Because we love celebrities. Some of us love those with talent, like the Wilson's, because they are in the movies we really really like. Other people like celebrities because, to quote Warren Ellis (who is a celebrity to me, along with William Gibson), "they are very different from you or I". We like them for their victories and more often for their destruction, because we could drink destruction like wine, so when a funny chap like Owen, a name which means "noble", does in real life what his brother's character did in a movie for which he was nominated for an academy award, well thats interesting.

Also, its news because you clicked on the link, which means you had some interest at least in what was being said, so don't pretend you're the authority on news and what isn't. Your part of the flash just like the rest of us.

Yeah, that's sensitive. This wasn't a case of a celebutard getting a DUI or bitch fighting behind the velvet ropes. Actor or not, someone has to be in a lot of pain to hurt themselves.

But I'm glad you have your life SOOOOO together that you can pass judgment on other people's mental/emotional woes.
