    BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Records of 911 call have revealed that Santa Monica police were responding to an "attempted suicide" when they were called to Owen Wilson's house on Sunday night, local media reports said Wednesday.

    The log does not indicate who made the call, but lists "attempt suicide" as the reason for the 911 call.

    Wilson, a Hollywood comic actor, was found bloody and dazed after trying to commit suicide by overdosing on pills and slitting his wrist in the wake of a blow-up with a close friend, a source told the New York Post.

    The actor was rushed to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica before being transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he is currently recovering.

    The comic's publicist, Ina Treciokas, declined to answer questions about whether Wilson attempted to committ suicide, saying Wilson's statement asking for privacy is all that is being released.

    Hospital spokeswoman Cynthia Harding said Monday that Wilson was in good condition at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

    People magazine reported on its website that his brother, actor Luke Wilson, and other family members had been seen outside Cedars Sinai.

    According to DreamWorks Pictures, filming continues on "Tropic Thunder," a comedy starring Wilson and Jack Black.

    It was also unknown how Wilson's appearance opposite Jennifer Aniston in the comedy "Marley & Me" would be affected. A 20th Century Fox spokesman told Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety that "it's a totally inappropriate question at this time."
