Assistant Says T.O. Tried to Kill Himself Earlier This Month
By Kyle Scott
Published:
Oh man. Back in 2006, it was widely speculated that Terrell Owens tried to kill himself when he was hospitalized for a “bad reaction to pain killers.”
This time, it seems, there’s a bit more evidence to support that speculation. According to T.O.’s assistant, who called 911 on October 6th, Owens tried to kill himself earlier this month by taking four (at least) prescription pain pills.
From the 911 call via TMZ:
He took… this is a bottle… I know I should have counted these. This is the bottle the most is missing out of.
Is this a suicide attempt?
Yes, I believe so.
Is he talking to you?
He’s talking to his girlfriend, ex-girlfriend. Don't really know what you want to call it. This is kinda of what… I don’t know.
Not good.
TMZ has the audio of the call here— the suicide part comes in at around 2:55.
