Reportedly Taken to
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.”’
The 32-year-old player broke his right hand Sept. 17 against the Washington Redskins .
Owens had surgery the following day.
Initial reports indicated Owens was hospitalized last night after a reaction to pain medication.
That is sad. I just saw a biography of TO on tv Monday night. Maybe Steelers can make a trade and get him to come to Pittsburgh for cheap now. :dunno: At least get 1 or 2 good seasons out of him after his hand heals.
How has his world fallen apart? This piece of shit has absolutely everything going for him. Just another asshole that wants as much attention as possible. He is no better than a 4 year old throwing a temper tantrum in a Wal-Mart.
geez for someone thing so much of himself, crazy to think he would do that. maybe the fan/ team disliking finally got to him. sucks to hear because regardless of his disposition, he is a damn fine athlete.
Exactly. Ever heard the old cliche, fall in a pile of shit, come out smelling like a rose? I think it’s a shame he wasn’t made to go play in the CFL or NFL Europe. He should never have been left to come back to the NFL. Good athlete or not, he’s a detriment to whatever team he plays for.
