The life of Terrell Owens a.k.a T.O took another turn for the controversial on the night of Tuesday September 26, 2005. On that evening, Owens' publicist Kim Etheridge found T.O with a bottle of hydroconone, (which is marketed as Vicodin) which is a painkiller. According to the Etheridge, she found him overdosing on hydroconone and had to pry two pills from his mouth before calling 911. Owens was released from the hospital around 1:30 EST the next day.
According to Etheridge, Owens tried to overdose on the painkillers because he was depressed. However, Dallas P.D would neither confirm nor deny that assessment. In his press conference, Owens denied that he tried to commit suicide and claimed that he was happy to be here. The Dallas P.D ended up not resuming their investigation calling the incident an "accidental overdose."
Owens' played the October 1st game against the Tennessee Titans, despite being two weeks removed from a broken finger in which he suffered in the Cowboys' Week 2 contest against the Washington Redskins. Owens caught five passes for 88 yards against the Titans. He has 14 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown for the season.
