Cowboys' Owens attempted suicide, police say Controversial star admitted overdosing on pain pills to rescue workers
Matt Slocum / AP
DALLAS - Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.
A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told his friend “that he was depressed.” Details of the report were first released by WFAA-TV.
The friend, who is not identified in the report, “noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth,” the police report said.
The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he’d taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he’d emptied. Owens was asked by rescue workers “if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, ‘Yes.”’
Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.
Owens is recovering from a broken right hand he hurt a week ago Sunday. He had an operation the next day to have a plate screwed in, enabling the bone to heal without being further injured. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill.
The Cowboys were off this past weekend and Owens was back at practice Tuesday, although he worked out on his own. Parcells said Owens’ hand was improving and he was expected back on the practice field Wednesday. Owens chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room Tuesday afternoon and seemed fine.
Owens, one of the league’s top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it.
When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill — who mostly deals with troubled players — said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn’t have a history of those kinds of problems.

Dallas police officials said they were planning a news conference later Monday, but did not immediately release a time. A hospital spokeswoman said early Wednesday there was no patient registered as Terrell Owens, although federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released.
Owens’ publicist and agent, and the Cowboys, did not return repeated calls from The Associated Press. No teammates or Cowboys officials were seen entering the hospital late Tuesday night.

he had taken 5 pain pills from the entire bottle, prior to last night....and then ate the REST of the bottle last night. 5 pain pills is not enough to kill you, or even really hurt you.

fuck TO, he's a worthless, egotistical, piece of shit. It's a shame he's too stupid to know how to kill himself.
I was really happy to see the eagles get rid of him, now dallas can see how worthless he really is. Fuck, he was fined before the regular season even started.

And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)

Just as an update, its reported that he did not, in fact, try to commit suicide.
Its a commonly known fact he's allergic to some pain meds, Bill Parcells was talking about it after he broke his hand last week. I heard on the news on the way here that he had had an allergic reaction and was completely incoherent when the police arrived. They just knew he took some pills and asked him if he tried to hurt himself. He said yes, and they took that to mean a suicide attempt.
Now, I dont know this is what happened, only that this is what was being reported...

Shit man, that's crazy. While people may not like him, its good to see that he is safe and did not died.
