Breaking News: Owen Wilson Did Attempt Suicide


"Extra" has learned from a source close to Owen Wilson that the actor did indeed attempt suicide over the weekend.

The source revealed to "Extra" that Wilson has been depressed for the last few months, but insisted it is not over a broken relationship.

The source also told "Extra" that Wilson's brother, Luke, found him and that Wilson's family and friends are shocked.

as a person who has attempted suicide 3 times I finally realized how selfish i was by putting my family and friends through that. I struggle everyday sometimes minute by minute but I have to sit back and know, there is always help. There will always be someone there who loves me and cares for me, and when life seems like it is not worth living anymore it usually means that that i am about to grow as a person to be stronger and even be the one who helps! To owen and his family: this time will be scary and full of heart ache but it will prove how much you love each other and how much life really is worth living!

Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death nationally and ranks above homicides and deaths from drunk driving.

One suicide occurs every 16 minutes, with one attempt every minute.

The highest suicide rate is among Caucasian men over 50 who are not medically ill.

Of the many millions of Americans who suffer from depression in any given year, over 80% can be effectively treated, but only 30% actually seek help, and of that number, slightly more than 15% are accurately diagnosed and effectively treated.

Although most gun owners reportedly keep a firearm in their home for “protection” of “self-defense,” 83% of gun related deaths in these homes are the result of a suicide, often by someone other than the gun owner.

From suicides that occurred between 1970 and 1995, there are an estimated 4.53 million survivors in the U.S.; this number grows by 186,000 per year.

The number one cause of suicide is depression undiagnosed, untreated, or ineffectively treated.

Oh my goodness, I am stunned, and Owen, you are in my thoughts. I wish you well…truly I do. I have so much empathy for you and your pain, whatever it may be. Please let the people who love you help you back to wellness. You are a valuable human being, you just need to believe that for yourself, so work towards believing it because it is the truth.

Depression is a disease, not a choice, nor a life style.

Owen Wilson needs proper care and guidance.

I wish him all the best, he will get through this and continue to be an amazing actor!

just because he is a comedian doesnt mean his life is perfect. just because a person is famous doesnt mean they dont deal with the same issues we deal with. obviously he needs to heal. leave him alone & quit worrying about why he did it. its NONE of your or my business!

Hey why dont you lame fame munger’s IE: Extra.tv leave Owen alone and just stfu. He is a human, and to be human is to have faults and life problems. He asked to be left alone, so find Britney and tell us all about her problems, she seems to enjoy the public eye.
