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."

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

Proof that the ones who look the happiest have the most shit going badly. If everyone sported a frowny face once in a while, they'd be far happier in the long run.

i just hope the media respects his wishes and leaves him alone.

I don't care who it is, someone famous, or someone no one would realize was gone until it's too late. It sucks to have people interjecting that you don't want around you.

Agreed. I don't think said space will actually be given, but it would be nice.

He seemed to have a good life, so this is shocking. I hope he gets better.

I once met Owen down in Miami during lunch at a pizza parlor. I would have never guessed that he would or could be driven to such an extreme. He was pretty laid back.

the tragic part of "wedding Crashers" has come to life

"you said those books weren't yours!"

I hope everything goes well for him. I love that guy.
