A log of calls made to Santa Monica’s 911 line confirms Owen Wilson’s medical emergency Sunday was an attempted suicide. Reports of the distraught actor being found bloodied and dazed after overdosing on pills and slitting his wrists circulated Monday.
Sources told The Post that Wilson tried to take his own life after a bitter blowup with a close pal. The tow-haired, Tinsel town hunk was discovered at home by a stunned fam ily member Sunday. The log, first obtained by Extra TV, shows the 911 call was received on Sunday at 12:08:16 p.m. The incident was “cleared” almost five hours later at 5:07:16 p.m.
“It’s hard. He’s such a wonderful person,” one source said. “He’s such a great guy and so smart and just . . . nice. We’re just hoping he gets better.” Wilson — who was listed in stable condi tion at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles — released a statement through his representative re questing privacy. “I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time,” said the star of “Wedding Crashers.”
Cedars-Sinai spokes woman Cynthia Harding confirmed that Wilson “is here and in good condition.” The actor had been transferred to Cedars- Sinai from St. John’s Hos pital in Santa Monica after having undergone detox for the apparent pill overdose and surgery to his injured left wrist. He will likely remain under the close watch of doctors for at least the next several days, one source said.
Authorities were alerted to the apparent suicide attempt after someone called Santa Monica police, and an ambu lance raced to the home just after noon Sunday. There were no details as to what may have caused Wilson to go off the deep end, except that the incident occurred shortly after a vicious quarrel with an unidentified friend. Wilson’s last serious romantic relationship - with beauty Kate Hudson - fell apart just before Memorial Day. Hudson had been spotted over the weekend very publicly canoodling with handsome new love Dax Shepard, but sources insisted that it did not contribute to Wilson’s emotional turmoil.
Wilson’s family rushed to his hospital bedside. His older brother, Andrew, appeared worried as he left the Santa Monica house and headed to the hospital early yesterday, one neighbor said. His famous younger brother, actor Luke Wilson, was already at the hospital, said a source. Other visitors included actor Samuel L. Jackson. Wilson’s uncle Joe, who shares a house with Owen, said, “He’s fine, and the family is doing great.”
One neighbor said that when she heard the ambulance, she was surprised because Wilson never causes any trouble. “All the neighbors like him, he’s a friendly guy. He never has any crazy parties or does anything wrong,” Betty Miller said. But Wilson, 38 - who always appeared to be a happy slacker type - has a dark history of depression. “It’s very upsetting. People are complicated. It’s not just one thing,” said a friend of the actor.
