Police: Owens had an 'accidental overdose'
IRVING, Texas - Dallas police have classified Terrell Owens' case as an ``accidental overdose,'' not an attempted suicide, closing their investigation Thursday of the Cowboys receiver's hospitalization.
Authorities also released a recording of the brief 911 call Thursday that brought rescue workers to Owens' home, in which publicist Kim Etheredge said ``I think he took too many pills'' but never mentioned her client's name or said anything about a suicide attempt.
Police Chief David Kunkle said he had ``great confidence'' in his officers' initial report, which said rescue workers responded late Tuesday night to an attempted ``suicide by prescription pain medication.''
``The report, in my opinion, reflects what the officers were told and represents their best interpretation of what happened,'' Kunkle said Thursday. ``But that doesn't mean it's the definitive account of the incident. Like all these situations, we're dealing with incomplete information and facts that change.''
The report, obtained by media outlets Wednesday, said Etheredge described Owens as being depressed and indicated that he said ``Yes'' when rescue workers asked whether he had tried to harm himself.
