Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens, according to police reports, attempted to commit suicide last night by overdosing on prescription pain medication.

Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide by overdosing on prescription pain medication Tuesday, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened, according to an internal police report obtained by The Associated Press.

The report said Owens was asked by rescue workers “if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time [he] stated, ‘Yes.’”

Owens was released from the hospital on Wednesday morning was was seen giving “thumbs up” to reporters. He made no comment as he got into an SUV and was driven away.

Publicists can be such liars and say the most uneducated things.

Etheridge said she called 911 because Owens was groggy and lethargic. After taking some supplements “it kicked in a reaction” with the painkillers, she told the Star-Telegram.

“Here’s a person whose body is so clean, it really had a negative reaction to the medication and supplements he was taking,” Etheridge told The Morning News. “Thank goodness someone was there to call an ambulance.”

According to the police report Owens’ publicist was the same person trying to pry the pills out of his mouth.

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.

Using her fingers, the friend attempted to pry them out of Owens’ mouth. Owens told police he had taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he’d emptied before the incident.

I hope T.O. gets well soon.
