Ten Thousand Motels Police report: Terrell Owens attempted suicide

10:27 AM CDT on Wednesday, September 27, 2006

By REBECCA LOPEZ / WFAA-TV


According to a Dallas police report first obtained by News 8, Dallas Cowboys star receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide Tuesday night. He remained hospitalized on Wednesday morning.

The report says Owens, 32, took prescription pain pills. Owens broke his right hand in a Sept. 17 game against the Washington Redskins.

A woman told police she observed Owens putting two pills in his mouth.

According to the police narrative, the woman said the prescription of 40 pills was filled on September 18 and—until Tuesday—Owens had taken only five pills.

The police report said Owens was asked if he had taken the rest of the prescription; Owens said, "Yes."

According to the report, police also asked if he was trying to harm himself. Owens answered, "Yes."

Owens was treated at Baylor University Medical Center.

"This is stunning news; obviously and incredibly surprising that a man in this position would reach this level of depression," said WFAA-TV sports director Dale Hansen. "There's something terribly wrong here, and hopefully we'll find out as the day goes on."

At a news conference, police spokesman Lt. Rick Watson confirmed that Dallas Fire-Rescue requested police officers in the 3800 block of Commerce Street Tuesday night. "When the officers got there, they were greeted by the paramedics who were treating Mr. Owens," he said.

"We determined at this time this is not a criminal offense," Lt. Watson said, refusing to answer any specific questions about the incident.

"If you want the 911 tape, you'll have to make the request to the fire department," Lt. Watson added.

Hansen said a source at the Cowboys' Valley Ranch headquarters told him that doors to all offices were closed.

A Dallas Cowboys spokesman told News 8 the team has no comment on the police report, nor is any news conference scheduled.

The player's publicist didn't immediately return calls for comment.

Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it.

When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill—who mostly deals with troubled players—said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems.

Dallas police officials said they were planning a news conference later Monday, but did not immediately release a time. A hospital spokeswoman said early Wednesday there was no patient registered as Terrell Owens, although federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Nellcote Another chapter in an extremely troubled player's history.
I can see Parcells telling Jones he predicted this as I type this. Now, only Terry Glenn remains as the go to "she" on that team, and he's not looking too bad...

Sir Stonesalot My momma said that if I can't say something good about a someone, then don't say anything at all.

So I'm not gonna say anything about Terrell Owens.

At one point last year, a major sporting goods chain ran a promo. They were selling $400.00 T.O. #81 Eagles game jerseys for $8.10. And they were having a hard time selling them. In fact, I think they still have some available.

I imagine it's much the same in SF.

And it's only a matter of time before it's that way in Dallas too.

Saint Sway I was in Dallas this summer and I went into a few different stores to pick up jerseys for my brother. I asked if the TO jerseys were selling. Everyplace said "not at all"

and this was before the whole pre-season spectacle/dibacle

Some Guy so maybe this can garner the man some sympathy and get back on everyones good side. Come back from the broken hand with a bust out game for Dallas, lead them to the Super Bowl. Only in America.

So true.
Some people are just their own worst enemy!

Some Guy You see he didn't try to kill his self, he is trying to kill the Cowboys.
27th September 2006 02:49 PM
jostorm Could the reason for his suicide attempt be the fact that he suddenly realised that only sissies need so much defensive gear to play a ball game????
Will the rest of America's players follow suit????
Is this the beginning of a brand-new dawn?????
Will America be destined to watch proper European football
from now on???

jostorm That REALLY was very funny, thank you both! And to my utter surprise, Americans ARE capable of intelligent, politically incorrect, hilarious, dead-pan comedy . I didn't know half the people portrayed, but it was still extremely funny!
So, now I'm going to stuff that in my pipe and smoke it...

Good night!

Paul Muni was an actor from the 30's. A jew. Did you mean Paul Mooney, that light skinned(i.e. high yeller) guy who is sometimes riotously hilarious?
