Just hours after News 8 first broadcast details of a Dallas police report that said Dallas Cowboys star receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide Tuesday night, Owens was back at the Cowboys’ Valley Ranch training center catching some passes from quarterback Drew Bledsoe. "There was no suicide attempt," Owens said. "The rumor of me taking 35 pills, I think, is absurd. I don't think I would be here had I taken 35 pills." 
Owens also said he wanted to dispel any rumors that he had had his stomach pumped. "That is definitely untrue," he said
A police report said Owens, who broke his right hand in a Sept. 17 game, took prescription pain pills. The report said a woman told police she observed Owens putting two pills in his mouth.
According to the police narrative, the woman said the prescription of 40 pills was filled on September 18 and--until Tuesday--Owens had taken only five pills. The police report said Owens was asked if he had taken the rest of the prescription; Owens said, "Yes." According to the report, police also asked if he was trying to harm himself. Owens answered, "Yes."Source
