I don't think an official explanation has been said yet. However, a few people have suggested that it was a bad reaction to the medicine he was taking for his hand. He was taken tot he hospital to induce vomiting.

You can find the story on espn now.

Report: T.O. taken to Dallas ER to induce vomiting

ESPN.com news services

DALLAS -- Terrell Owens was taken to the emergency room Tuesday night, and doctors treating the Dallas Cowboys receiver were trying to induce vomiting, according to a television report.

Though the reason for the hospitalization was not disclosed in the original report, ESPN's Ed Werder is reporting that, according to a source close to Owens, the receiver suffered an adverse reaction to painkillers taken for treatment of his fractured hand.


Owens was brought by a fire rescue crew to Baylor Medical Center, Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT reported, citing sources the television station did not identify. A reporter for the station later said she saw Owens being wheeled down the hall.


Calls from The Associated Press to Owens' agent, his publicist and the Cowboys were not immediately returned Tuesday night. The hospital told the AP that they do not have a patient registered by Owens' name.


KTVT said a Dallas police spokesperson was en route to the hospital to talk about a "high profile case."

Owens fractured the fourth metacarpal bone in the Cowboys' victory over the Washington Redskins and underwent surgery on Sept. 18. The next day, a plate was screwed in, protecting the bone so it can heal without further damage.

Cowboys coach Bill Parcells mentioned in a press conference shortly thereafter that pain medication had made Owens ill, apparently making this the second time he has had an adverse reaction. The incident that sent him to the hospital Tuesday night apparently occurred sometime after Owens took medication after catching passes at the Cowboys' facility on Tuesday.

At this point, his availabitily to practice with the team on Wednesday or to play in Sunday's game at Tennessee remains unknown. A hospital spokesman is expected to make an announcement early Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Cowboys also practiced without tight end Jason Witten, whose wife was having a baby. Wide receiver Terry Glenn practiced, albeit with several stitches in his thumb.


"He was trying to cut some tape off his uniform," Parcells said. "He had his hand down in his pants and he missed. Fortunately he cut his hand."


With the Cowboys having had a bye last weekend, Owens could return without having missed a game. Before Tuesday's developments, Owens said he'll play Oct. 8, when he gets to face his former team, the Eagles, in Philadelphia.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

[Slugbait]

So the doctors are trying to induce vomiting.

That's only fair...T.O. has been inducing NFL fans to vomit for several years now.

DPD Report Says Owens Attempted Suicide
(CBS 11 News) Terrell Owens told police he attempted suicide last night.

CBS 11 News first reported the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was wheeled into Baylor Medical Center Tuesday night.

According to the Dallas Police Department incident report, Ownes told police he took more than 30 pills in a suicide attempt.

Sources tell CBS 11 News Owens was taken to Baylor Hospital by Dallas Fire Rescue and that emergency room doctors attempted to induce vomiting.

Baylor Hospital officials continue to deny Owens received treatment, however, federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released.

Two weeks ago Owens broke his hand during a football game against the Washington Redskins.

Earlier Tuesday, Parcells said he expected Owens to rejoin his teammates at practice Wednesday and would start Sunday in Tennessee if he proves he can play.

"It's just, can he withstand the pain of catching the ball?" Parcells said. "When he can stand it, he can play."

The Cowboys had a bye last weekend, so Owens has yet to miss a game because of this injury. He's repeatedly said he'll play Oct. 8, when he gets to face his former team, the Eagles, in Philadelphia.

Holy crap!!! LOL!

EDIT: Bah, nevermind... Every news source has a different story....

 

[iamme]

wow.

 

[TraumaRN]

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP!

You dont just suddenly become massively allergic to a pain med. I knew it sounded like BS. I mean I understand pain meds make alot of people sick but generally if you are allergic they give you something else. I remember reading the story when it first broke and thinking to myself that it sounded like a bad cover for a suicide attempt.

The boy pisses everyone off cuz he's got an underlying mental condition he's trying to hide I think. Probably some bipolarism with manic episodes. Maybe even majorly depressive. We'll see but he'll probably get admitted for 24hr observation....

 

[j00fek]

how did he get shot from overdosing on painkillers, you ppl need to get the facts right.


Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT, citing sources it did not identify, reported that Owens was taken to Baylor University Medical Center by a fire rescue crew, and that doctors were trying to induce vomiting. A reporter for the station later said she saw Owens being wheeled down the hall.

Latest on ESPN

He OD on pain killers.

Prescription for 40 units was filled on 18th Sept.

He had only used 5 pills previously

Female friend stated she had seem him take a couple.

Police asked did he empy the bottle? - Answer was affirmative.


Pain of out of the spotlight apparently was much more than pain from injuries.

I was going to post something like he was out of the spotlight for too long (what was it like a week since he broke his finger?), so he had to do something to get back in it!

 

[new2AMD]

he was asked if he was trying to hurt himself and he said yes
