Terell Owens attempts suicide

Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide Tuesday by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after fire rescue personnel arrived. A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told rescue workers "that he was depressed." The report was first released by WFAA-TV. The rescue worker "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said. The worker 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. The worker then asked Owens "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, 'Yes.'"

money can't buy happineess. I'm sure he would treasure a few days in your shoes living out of the limelight, without the pressure of the entire state of texas on him, and every eye in the sporting, and even non sporting world watching his every step.

Unsuccessful at committing suicide? Enough said T.O. He can buy everything in the world, people look up to him, he's incredibly talented and yet he wants out. Obviously he can buy or have everything but happiness.

I hope he gets whatever help he needs and realized what's really important in life.
