Breaking NewsA "call to service" report from the Santa Monica Police Department, obtained by the television show "EXTRA," shows that the 911 call from Owen Wilson's home was made because the actor tried to commit suicide.

The call was received shortly after noon on Sunday and was "cleared" some five hours later. "EXTRA" is reporting that it was one of Owen's brothers who found him. Owen was rushed to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and later moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

32. I just want to say that Poncho's comments are those of a fool. Unless you have lived with it or dealt with it then you have no place to judge. Try losing someone that way and I am sure your negativity will be gone quickly.
What an idoitic thing you said.

34. What a tool. Maybe he should work a couple of minimum wage jobs, have no health insurance, and live in a dump with a room full of mouths to feed. I'm sure a stroll though Pediatric Oncology would put his "problems" in perspective, as long as he's in the hospital.

36. SHUT UP YOU SYMPATHIZERS!! The dude can get any chick he wants, can do any movie role he wants, has tons of money and he goes and sets a stupid exapmle to millions of people that, if you can't handle it, you can just commit suicide. What a message that sends to America's youth who idolize this guy and who have MUCH nowhere near the luxuries of life this guys has. Dumbass! Give me the money and the chicks and get off the drugs man!

37. May you gain peace of mind and peace within your heart, Owen Wilson. You are a talented guy who always makes me laugh! Wonder what Kate's reaction to all of this is.... I always thought you 2 made a perfect couple. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

38. I just cannot fathom why a rich famous celebrity would want to off himself..He can live lavishly where he wants, shop at the finest stores, eat at the best restaurants, get dates with the hottest girls, travel to paradise whenever he wants, and work in a fun, friendly enviornment and command an obscene salary..It's the rest of us that cannot afford to do those things that should be killing ourselves..I'd trade lives with him anyday!

40. Okay...enough is enough. Everyone needs to leave him alone and let him get the help he needs in private.

And to all the dirtbags out there who condemn the so-called 'sympathizers,' shut up! I cannot believe we live in a society that actually harbors ill-will on another who is hurting mentally and emotionally. What kind of people have we become?!?!?! It's no wonder everyone around the world hates us.

41. Please leave him alone.

42. From many of your comments you don't understand mental illness, or depression. It does not wage its war against the rich, the poor, or lonely. It can strike anyone at anytime and it has no boundaries. Some of the richest people have been miserable and suicidal and some of the poorest were the happiest and at peace. Look at Mother Theresa. Think about it. Makes you wonder where the true peace comes from.

43. I had a brother who committed suicide. I understand why, and I've come to accept it, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him and grieve for him. He's left a hole in my heart that no one can fill. Please think of those who love you, and don't use a permanent solution for a problem that may be temporary. You are loved.

44. Yup I'd trade lives with him too! he can have my fat wife, rude kids, all of my bills, my drunk in-laws, and the tin can we call home.

45. Okay media, now everyone knows, it was a suicideattempt. LET IT GO! Everyone has issues, period. Now respect his privacy, quit trying to dig up something, the reasons, who or what started this and let this man deal with this as he sees fit. Just because you are a public figure does not mean each aspect of your life is for public display. Show some support!
