It appears that Owen Wilson's suicide effort on August 26th was not the initial time the well-liked comedy novelist attempted to take his own life. An insider reports that Wilson has been fighting depression for most of his adult life and that the face that we have grown to associate with good-quality comedy and easy-going fun is in fact that of a deeply troubled man.
Wilson's most recent suicide attempt has been a controversial topic and no one really knows what happened that fateful Sunday morning two weeks ago. First, Wilson was reported to have been found by one of his brothers (not sure whether Andrew or Luke) with his wrists slashed and an open bottle of pills by his side. Then, Owen's representative stated off the record that there had been no drug overdose, but that the actor had really slashed his wrists. And then came the post-hospital discharge photos of Wilson without any visible marks on his wrists, but looking distinctly dishevelled and depressed and reportedly in very bad emotional shape.
