The friend mentioned in the report is Owens' publicist, Kim Etheridge, according to reports. She told The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Dallas Morning News that that reports of an attempted suicide were false.
Etheridge told the Star-Telegram that Owens was "fine."
Etheridge said she called 911 because Owens was groggy and lethargic. After taking some supplements "it kicked in a reaction" with the painkillers, she told the Star-Telegram.
"Here's a person whose body is so clean, it really had a negative reaction to the medication and supplements he was taking," Etheredge told The Morning News. "Thank goodness someone was there to call an ambulance."
Etheridge told The Morning News that Owens has been released from the hospital.

If this were really a suicide attempt, I doubt he'd be home already. I've seen this plenty of times, these people are tied up in the hospital and a rubber room for days after suicide attempts.
