Shawn Southwick, the wife of Larry King, reportedly accidently overdosed on pills at her Provo, Utah home based on a 911 emergency call made by her father Karl Engemann on May 28 (listen to 911 call here).

UPDATE: Larry King’s Wife Shawn Southwick Tried To Commit Suicide

“I can’t wake her up,” Shawn’s father Karl says, “She may have overmedicated. I don’t think she did it on purpose. Last night she seemed confused about what she had taken, the last time she had taken it.”

“She’s unconscious. I slap her and I holler at her and she opens her eyes half way and puts them back down again,” he says early in the call. “I left my daughter here last night and she was fine. I come this morning she’s supposed to have a meeting in a while and she just seems to be out of it.”

Karl, who remained calm throughout the whole ordeal, tells the operator he is sure his daughter did not try to commit suicide. He went to check on her because they had a scheduled meeting together and found her unresponsive in her bed.

Shawn and her husband Larry King have both filed for divorce almost two months ago, but they reconciled and are currently trying to save their marriage. The two accused each other of having extramarital affairs: Larry with his sister-in-law Shannon Engemann (photos here) and Shaw with her sons’ baseball coach, Hector Penate (more details/photos here).

Karl ends up telling the dispatcher his daughter is married to Larry King and he doesn’t want to reveal personal information, but says Shawn was taking some meds for anxiety and depression.

Shawn went to rehab for an addiction to prescription painkillers due to her severe migraines back in 2008. Shawn and Larry tied the knot on September 5, 1997 and they have two sons.
