BEIJING, Aug. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Owen Wilson slit his
wrists, but contrary to other reports, he did not overdose, an attorney for
Wilson told "Access Hollywood."
The attorney also said the actor
did not have his stomach pumped. The attorney said Wilson had been taking
antidepressants, but was not aware of any other drugs in his
system at the time of the incident.
Police call logs confirmed on Tuesday it was an
"attempted suicide." However, the Santa Monica City Attorney’s office has
announced it will not be releasing the 911 call made regarding Wilson.
"In reaching this decision the City believes that in
many instances no person should have to worry about whether placing a call for
emergency assistance will automatically make his or her medical request open to
public review," the City Attorney’s office said in a press release late
Wednesday.
"In balancing the competing interests, the City
agencies outweigh the public interest served by disclosure of the emergency 911
call. In situation such as this, the City concludes that the public is best
served if medical attention is promptly sought instead of being delayed because
of a concern, real or imagined, of public attention, regardless of whether that
publicity is sympathetic or not."
