I dont think anyone knows for sure. Like someone said if you try to commit suicide yoru going to be for a while. They just dont let you go like that. They have to evaluate you. I remember when my dumb ass friend accidently put a glock 40 through his hand, they didnt let him go for a while. He had to talk to hell of people he said.

I personally have never heard of an allergic reaction to pain pills.

I would like to know who's reporting that he's home? I'm listening to a radio station thats covering this like Aunt Jemimah and I haven't heard anything to that effect.

I'm pretty certain that working with Bill Parcells would drive me to suicide.

But, I feel badly for TO in this case. No matter what happened, he's a marked man now. He's like the Liza Minelli of football.

DALLAS -- Did Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens try to commit suicide by taking as many as 35 prescription pain pills?

Or did a police report inaccurately classify a call to Owens' Dallas home as an attempted suicide?
On Wednesday morning, Owens' publicist vehemently denied that he intentionally tried to harm himself Tuesday night.
She attributed Owens' statement to officers that he was trying to harm himself to the fact that he was groggy from mixing pain pills with supplements.
Kim Etheridge, Owens' publicist, was described in the report as "a woman companion" who said she observed him putting two pills in his mouth."

The picture could become clearer at 1:30 p.m., when coach Bill Parcells holds his regularly scheduled news conference.

A brief news conference by police did little to clarify the situation.

Lt. Rick Watson, a Dallas police spokesman, said police are conducting no investigation of the events at Owens' home.

He described it as "a medical situation" and said any further information would not come from police. He also indicated that the police report had been released prematurely.

He declined to answer questions or to verify the accuracy of the police report, although he did pass out redacted copies.

"This is a high-profile person," Watson said. "We looked into it and determined that there was not a criminal offense in this incident."

"We would do it the exact same way" no matter who was involved, he said.

Owens was being treated at Baylor University Medical Center.

Etheridge said he "is fine."

"He will be leaving the hospital today," she said.

According to the police narrative, the woman said the prescription of 40 pills was filled on Sept. 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."

Etheridge said she called 911 because Owens was groggy and lethargic.

She said he was in pain stemming from the fractured right hand, suffered against Washington two weeks ago.

He underwent surgery to have a plate and three pins placed in the hand last Monday.

Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said at the time that Owens was having a bad reaction to the pain medication.

Etheridge said Owens experienced more pain and discomfort Tuesday.

He took some pain pills and did some "microcurrent" treatment.

She said he also took some supplements and "it kicked in a reaction." "When I went to grab him, he was out of it," Etheridge said. "That's why I called 911."

Etheridge said Owens did not have his stomach pumped at the hospital and did not vomit.

Staff writer Bill Miller contributed to this report.

Unless he's been committed to a mental ward for supervision....the Dallas Police fugged this one up.

"He also called a business partner about a towel-wrap venture they're starting and joked to TV cameras that he wasn't talking until Wednesday and today was only Tuesday."

This tells everything-it was all planned. He was also seen taking some of those pills the day before, so I think it is safe to believe him that he took 5. Remember he is not real bright, he said that he wasn't responsible for what was said in his own biography that he first said he wrote.

Uh, folks...when was the last time that laws along the lines of "72-hour mandatory psych observation" were applicable to celebrities/powerful individuals?

Sorry, it's a nice theory (that he'd be under observation if he'd actually tried to kill himself), but it holds absolutely zero water in the celebrity-driven culture we live in.
