I have enjoyed the movies that I have seen featuring Owen Wilson, both in serious roles and in crazy comedy roles. I am not sure what might have pushed him to suicide - outwardly he seems to be doing very well, at least financially and career wise - but I am very glad that he was found and is doing better in the hospital. As one who has been in dark places where suicide seemed to be a solution at the time, I can at least appreciate how desperate and utterly hopeless Wilson must have felt. I wish him well and a full recovery. His suicide attempt shows that suicide is a much more wide spread phenomenon than most people believe it to be. Here is a portion of CNN's article:LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Police were called to Owen Wilson's home because of an attempted suicide report, according to a police log of weekend calls. The log doesn't indicate who made the call Sunday, but lists "attempt suicide" as the reason for it.
Wilson was in good condition Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Hospital officials said Tuesday they weren't releasing any updated information. The 38-year-old actor was initially taken by ambulance from his home to Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica on Sunday and later transferred to Cedars. The actor's publicist, Ina Treciokas, declined to answer questions Tuesday about whether Wilson attempted to commit suicide. She said Wilson's statement asking for privacy was all that was being released.
Wilson had two movies in production and two more upcoming releases to help promote. DreamWorks Pictures said in a statement that filming continues on "Tropic Thunder," a comedy starring Wilson. The studio offered no details on whether Wilson's role in the film, directed by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black, would be recast.
