23. I was sad,sick and shocked when I read about Owen ,whom is one of the very few actors I adore.There is just something so special about him and I feel so sad that he felt such dispair and torture to do what he did.I will pray so hard for him that he is able to work out whatever is bothering him so much and that he finds a reason to keep living because he is so loved.I will pray for his family as well,who I'm sure is going through hell.

24. I'm so very sorry to hear this. Owen Wilson is absolutely one of my favorite actors, and I would have never guessed that he had depression issues. I feel a lot for him...I suffer from a bit of the same, and have worked very hard to overcome my own issues. I am a successful businesswoman, but that's come only after lots of hard work, and therapy! I wish him the very best in every thing. And with a loving family and lots of close friends around him to help, he can come through this better, healthier, stronger. Hang in there, Owen! My thoughts and prayers are truly with you at this time!

25. He Must Have Finally Watched One Of His Own Movies.

National Enquirer Had This 'Breaking TMZ News' About The Attempt Yesterday!

26. FYI- The Santa Monica PD puts their daily incident call logs on the net. Found here: http://santamonicapd.org/Press_Info/DailyReports/cfs082607.pdf One report does list a call as attempted suicide in the news given time frame and adress. So it is true that Wilson is a selfish wimp life hater; considering who and what he's been given in life, he's obviously insane. Kate Hudson did the right thing got herself and her family away from this nutjob!

30. AS someone who has gone through a suicide I can relate to his family and the many questions they are asking.
When my son did it I too asked the questions of how and why and in the ned came up with no real answers.
The best anyone can do at this point is to let him have time to get better.
Thankfully he was found and has a chance to recover.
Unfortunately there are many who never get that chance.
Prayers for him and his family.
