Get busy living or get busy dying....guess he wanted to go, but that being said, I believe that people who try to off themselves are really hurting and do not know how to deal with the pain,,,they need help, not discouraging remarks about how they are weak...they are not running from problems, they just do not know how to effectively deal with them...they need professional help....isn't that what religious people do?? Spiritual guidance and such!!

I believe this as well VD. These people are emotionally and sometimes psychologically ill. They can be treated to get better. Why allow someone to throw away their lives at a moment of despair? Unless we know all about these illnesses of the mind and the state of mind of the person at the time we have no businesses judging them.

It's really just a cry for help on Owen's part.

I'm almost sure he knew his brother would get to him.

Only one wrist (superficially). Not two.

Now if Wilson cut both wrists deep in a hotel bathroom tub, then I'll change my tune.

I'm sure there are a lot of people here who have at one time or another thought of ending it because at that point and time life really sucked for whatever reason. I think it's probably something everyone has thought about before. But why didn't you do it? For those of you who are married or have kids. Why would you want to put your family through that? I know what it's like to have a parent die when I was very young. It is at it's most basic a selfish act. You are only thinking of yourself.

What's the deal with all of the hollywood types out to destroy themselves. It seems as though once you make it you have to become a drunk and a drug user. Seriously, how many actors, singers, etc. have died from this stuff?

Sorry for your loss and can't comment about your situation because I've never been in your shoes, but I can say that most of us knew people in a similar situation and in most cases, I would venture that people who try to commit suicide are dealing with tremendous pain and that they really are thinking that this is the best solution for all parties when in reality they are hurting everyone...just my 2 cents

It's because they have the whole world, and see firsthand that the world cannot satisfy. Middle class people like us are still chasing the world, because it hasn't disappointed yet. But those at the top see that they are really no better off than when they didn't have money and fame.

Are some people predisposed to handle fame and fortune better than others? These younger stars I can relate to. How many of us when we were in high school partied our butts off? I don't think I can be president because I did inhale. I think that everythings just given to them after a certain point and there is no one who is willing to sit them down and tell them they are destroying their lives.

Oh, and I agree with your point Viejo, well stated.

......i disagree....cash sure as hell makes life easier !!!

:money8:


Cash can buy you things...I guess it depends if you look for things to make you happy. Which would you rather have? A Mercedes or the love of another human being? A big Screen TV won't hug you back.

no doubt our interaction with fellow human beings is the most influenticial emotion...happiness or sadness .....its what we r n when we die , its only our memories that are left ....

however, my point was HAVING MONEY as oppossed to NOT having MOney is absolutely crucial to one's happiness !!!

it's a helluva lot easier life travelin around the world eating out at the best retaurants ,as oppossed to not having enough money to live month to month !

yes...the rich have their share of problems i'm sure ...but they don't compare to the average working man !:nopityA:

How do you have any idea what he's dealing with? All you see is what's on the outside. My friend was raped, and after several years of dealing with the trauma, she took her own life to escape the pain. Is she weak and selfish? How can suicide be selfish, when it is the end of self? Maybe you should think about fact that you've never walked a day in someone else's shoes, and you're no expert on their problems.
I just found out that the guy that was dating my friend at the time that she hung herself......he committed suicide on Tues, the day after I posted this. He had been a friend in grade school.

News update. Owen did not OD on pills and was not pumped at the hospital.

He DID cut his wrists. But I dont think to the point it could have done him in.

He was only on his normal dose of antidepressant meds.
