Jonathan Rhys Meyers reportedly overdoses on pills

Meyers Here's a sad story for an otherwise reasonably pleasant day.

Showbizspy has this: "Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized after a suspected suicide attempt on Tuesday. The Tudors star — who has been in rehab five times for alcohol problems — refused treatment by paramedics for more than 30 minutes, meaning they were forced to call police and he was eventually taken away by ambulance to a facility near his home in Maida Vale, north London. “This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life,” a source said. Worried neighbors saw the 33-year-old actor — who was believed to have overdosed on unspecified pills — rushed to hospital. “I saw the ambulance arriving and was worried to death,” an onlooker said. “Jonathan is a lovely guy. You see him all the time in the street. He says hello and is very pleasant. I hope he is fine.” The Velvet Goldmine actor was discharged from hospital yesterday but would only answer “no comment” when questioned on whether he had tried to commit suicide. A police spokesperson confirmed they had been asked to attend the incident. “Officers were called by London Ambulance Service following reports of a man refusing treatment. The man was taken to hospital,” said one official."
