According to Star magazine and the National Enquirer, Owen Wilson tried to kill himself yesterday by slitting his wrists and taking an "indeterminate amount of pills." Star magazine says:

[Wilson] was discovered by a family member who summoned help. Police and an ambulance responded to a 911 call from Owen’s house around noon on Sunday. His wrist was sutured and bandaged at the hospital. The Enquirer and Star broke the story of Owen’s hospitalization earlier Sunday and revealed that he was being transferred from St. John’s after being stabilized. The publications learned that he was going to be detoxed. (Source)

People magazine also has news of Wilson's hospitalization, but mentions nothing of a suicide attempt:

Owen Wilson's parents and brothers were seen at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday night amid reports Wilson was hospitalized. Santa Monica police issued a statement saying officers responded to a "medical assistance call" at a house on Wilson's street shortly after noon Sunday. A source confirmed the house was Wilson's.

aybe this is all just a misunderstanding. I can't tell you how many times I've ended up with a couple of slit wrists after fumbling around with those damn childproof medicine bottles. And once you get it open, you might as well take 50-75 pills. God knows you put in the effort. You might as well make it count.

UPDATE: Wilson issued a statement: "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."
